Genotoxic Effects of Rice-Agrochemicals on Channa punctatus (Bloch) and Cyprinus carpio (Linnaeus) Using Micronucleus Assay and Alkaline Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis
Rice-cum-fish culture is a cost-effective practice for marginal farmers but the major constraint is the indiscriminate use of agrochemicals. Present work was designed to assess the genotoxic effects of rice agrochemicals in Channa punctatus (Experiment 1 CP1 to CP3) and Cyprinus carpio (Experiment 2...

Zusammenfassung: | Rice-cum-fish culture is a cost-effective practice for marginal farmers but the major constraint is the indiscriminate use of agrochemicals. Present work was designed to assess the genotoxic effects of rice agrochemicals in Channa punctatus (Experiment 1 CP1 to CP3) and Cyprinus carpio (Experiment 2 CC1 to CC3); using micronucleus, chromosome aberration, and single cell gel electrophoresis/Comet assay. Two experiments with three treatments (CP1/CC1: without pesticide; CP2/CC2: recommended doses; CP3/CC3: farmers’ dose) were maintained in triplicates. The presence of tail DNA and micronuclei depicted significant DNA damage (P |
