Abstract excerpt
In living organisms heterogenous air pollutants are considered as a major source of DNA damage. In this study, we aimed to describe the DNA changes in Pseudevernia furfuracea (L.) Zopf samples exposed to pollution at various sites in Kayseri by RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) analysis in order to reveal the pattern of genetic variation influenced by the environmental pollution. The study area is...
