DNA damage in potato plants induced by cadmium, ethyl methanesulphonate and γ-rays

Original language description

We have calibrated the alkaline protocol of the plant comet (Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis) assay as a method for detecting the extent of induced DNA damage in potato plants (Solanum tuberosum L. cultivar Korela). After 2 and 24 h treatments of the rooted cuttings with the heavy metal cadmium (Cd2+), a dose?response increase in DNA damage was noted versus controls in root nuclei. With a 24 h recovery period, the Cd2+-induced DNA damage in roots increased significantly. No significant increase in DNA damage was demonstrated in leaf nuclei after 24 h Cd2+ treatments, but continuous Cd2+ treatments for 2 weeks resulted in an increase in leaf DNA damage. This increase may be however associated with necrotic and apoptotic DNA fragmentation, as the affected plants had inhibited growth and distorted yellowish leaves. For comparison, the monofunctional alkylating agent ethyl methanesulphonate, and _-rays were assessed for induced DNA damage. Analysis of the accumulation of cadmium by inducti
