Abstract

The aim of this study was to confirm the usefulness of the Comet assay as a predictive genotoxicity screening test in evaluating the impact of walnut green husks. Aqueous extract of green husks from Juglans regia L. cv Sorrento was tested for its inhibitory activity and genotoxicity; radish has been choosen as a model, thanks to its quick germination and root growth (Einhellig and Rasmussen, 1978).
