Oxidative stress and vacuolar variants influence paraquat response in <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> of different genetic variants
2025-05-31
Abstract excerpt
The biological effects of paraquat (PQ), an herbicide linked to Parkinson’s disease (PD) risk in humans can be studied in Saccharomyces cerevisiae due to its evolutionary conservation with mammals. To understand how genetic background influences PQ toxicity, we treated four yeast strains (NA, SA, WA, and WE) with PQ and assessed physiological (growth curves), molecular (superoxide and peroxide levels) and cellula...
