Accidental spills and misuse of pesticides may lead to current and/or legacy environmental contamination and may pose concerns regarding possible risks towards non-target microbes and higher eukaryotes in ecosystems. The present study was aimed at comparing transcriptomic responses to effects of sub-lethal levels of six environmentally relevant pesticide active substances in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae eukaryo...
Alachlor has been a commonly applied herbicide and is a substance of ecotoxicological concern. The present study aims to identify molecular biomarkers in the eukaryotic model Saccharomyces cerevisiae that can be used to predict potential cytotoxic effects of alachlor, while providing new mechanistic clues with possible relevance for experimentally less accessible eukaryotes. It focuses on genome-wide expression...
