Alleviative Role of Β-Estradiol Against 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid Genotoxicity on Common Bean Genome
Abstract
2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) is one of the several herbicides that widely
used to prevent development of Taraxacum
officinale and broadleaf weeds on cereal crops culture. However, it is known that
2,4-D can cause genetic damage to plants at low concentrations as well as
produce observable physiological effects. There is no report investigating the
effect of mammalian hormones in crops against the applied 2,4-D. Therefore, the
present study was aimed at investigating levels of DNA damage, changes in DNA
methylation and DNA stability in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) exposed
to 2,4-D and determine whether β-estradiol has any effect. RAPDs (Randomly Amplified
Polymorphic DNA) and CRED-RAs (Coupled Restriction Enzyme Digestion-Random
Amplification) techniques were used to define the DNA damage levels and changes in the
pattern of DNA methylation. The obtained
data demonstrated that 2,4-D led to an increase in RAPDs profile changes (DNA damage), and a
reduction in genomic template stability (GTS). The effects caused by 2,4-D were
decreased after application with different concentrations of β-estradiol. The
results of this study clearly show that β-estradiol could be used function
effectively to prevented from the genetic and epigenetic changes caused by
2,4-D herbicide in common bean.
