The dithiocarbamate fungicides maneb and mancozeb induce a short-term stress response in a transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans strain (PC72) carrying a reporter lacZ gene under the control of a homologous heat shock (hsp16) promoter. This response can be readily monitored as induced b-galactosidase ac
We have previously shown that the dithiocarbamate fungicide, Mancozeb, strongly induces lacZ reporter expression from an endogenous heat-shock promoter (hsp16) in the PC72 transgenic strain of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Such evidence of organismal stress, in a nontarget species at subappli
