Comet assay - a sensitive tool for genotoxicity assessment of environmental stress in Mytilus galloprovincialis from the Bulgarian Black Sea coast

Assessment of DNA damage is of primary concern when the pollution-related stress in living organisms has to be determined.The reason for this concern comes from the evidence that damages in DNA often lead to mutations which are potential threat for the sustainability of organisms and ecological systems.To monitor genotoxicity of the marine environm

The multifunction of CLAVATA2 in plant development and immunity

The CLAVATA2 (CLV2) gene encodes a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) receptor-like protein (RLP), a class Soup Spoons of cell surface receptors that lacks a cytoplasmic kinase domain.As such, CLV2 is capable of functioning in concert with additional receptor(s), possibly receptor-like kinase(s), to activate cellular responses upon ligand perception.Accumul
