The potential for DNA strand breaks, particularly as measured by the comet assay, to act as a biomarker of genetic toxicity in animal and plants in the environment must be considered. The background need for such biomarker is introduced in relation to carcinogenicity, reproductive effects, and other adverse effects of pollution. A peculiar interest should be turned to pollutants deriving …

The objectives of this work is to follow the infection process of an insect by both a non-pathogenic and an entomopathogenic fungus, and to detect possible immune reactions (humoral and cellular) of the insect. Protoplasts produced in vitro as well as fungi with intact cell walls will be used. The possible detection of an antifungal protein is especially demanding since there are few repo…
