Tobacco, Sunflower and High Biomass SRC Clones Show Potential for Trace Metal Phytoextraction on a Moderately Contaminated Field Site in Belgium.
species, were evaluated during consecutive years. Biomass production and metal accumulation of pre-selected tobacco somaclonal variants (L.) and pre-selected sunflower mutants (L.) were investigated for two ...

The Vitotox and ToxTracker assays: a two-test combination for quick and reliable assessment of genotoxic hazards
reporter-based assays. In this paper we investigate the performance of two in vitro reporter-based assays, namely the Vitotox and the ToxTracker. A set of reference compounds were selected to cover not only ...
Scientific opinion on Malachite green in food
95% confidence limit for a benchmark response of 10% extra risk (BMDL10) of 13 mg/kg bw per day for hepatocellular adenomas and carcinomas was selected as reference point for neoplastic effects. For ...
Airtightness in Belgian high biocontainment facilities
airtightness of their high-containment area by means of a blower-door test (norm NBN EN 13829:2001). Four institutions, representing different construction types, were selected. These were a newly built and ...
Scientific Opinion on the Risks for human health related to the presence of 3- and 2-monochloropropanediol (MCPD), and their fatty acid esters, and glycidyl fatty acid esters in food
treatment with glycidol increased the incidence of tumours in several tissues of rats and mice, likely via a genotoxic mode of action. The Panel selected aBMDL10 value for 3- MCPD of 0.077 mg/kg bw per day ...
A molecular approach for the rapid, selective and sensitive detection of Exophiala jeanselmei in environmental samples: development and performance assessment of a real-time PCR assay
selectivity (100 %), PCR efficiency (95.5 %), dynamic range and repeatability of this qPCR assay were subsequently evaluated. The limit of detection for this qPCR assay was determined to be 1 copy of genomic ...
Agronomic Practices for Improving Gentle Remediation of Trace Element-Contaminated Soils.
soil, thereby reducing related pollutant linkages. Much research has been dedicated to the screening and selection of TE-tolerant plant species and genotypes for application in GRO. However, the number of ...
