Volume 3 Issue 4 2012(October - December) MOLECULAR BASED RAPID METHOD TO RESOLVE THE EXTENT OF DNA DAMAGES IN ACALYPHA INDICA The comet assay is a comparatively simple, but sensitive and well validated tool for measuring strand breaks in DNA in single cells. Cells were embedded in a thin layer of agarose on a microscope slide and lysed with detergent and high salt solution. Air pollution tolerance index of lessThan i greaterThan Acalypha lessThan /i greaterThan lessThan i greaterThan indica lessThan /i greaterThan growing in the natural conditions closest to road side and non road side were determined by comet assay.
