Figure 3. Genomic damage: the percentage of altered bands in each treatment at high concentration detected by RAPD-PCR. (a) Average band loss at lesser concentrations for 24 h; (b) average band loss at greater concentrations for 48 h; (c) average band gains at lesser concentrations for 24 h; and (d) average band gain at greater concentrations for 48 h. AFB₁: aflatoxin B₁; FB₁: fumonisin B₁; C: Cochorus olitorius; RAPD: random amplifi cation of polymorphic DNA; PCR: polymerase chain reaction
