Abstract
- Plants living under extreme conditions have developed a strategy to protect their DNA and other important cell structures from environmental stress factors. In particular, watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) has adapted well to extreme conditions. Its survival strategy can be used in the field of skin care, as shown by several tests, including a direct DNA protection assay, the comet assay, and 8-oxo-guanine and p53 detection.
