Anticlastogenic Effect of Phycocyanin Pigment on the Mutagenicity Induced by Curzate Fungicide in Vicia Faba Plants

Puntos clave

• Phycocyanin demonstrates an anticlastogenic effect against mutagenicity from curzate, enhancing plant resilience.
• Curzate fungicide increases mutagenic responses in Vicia faba, indicating a significant threat to plant health.
• Observational analysis highlighted the protective properties of phycocyanin in reducing mutagenicity levels.
• These findings suggest that phycocyanin might serve as a natural protector against fungicide-related genetic damage.
