Roundup Transorb (RDT) is the most popular glyphosate-based herbicide (GHB) used in agriculture, and its impact extends to non-target organisms. The annual killifish Austrolebias charrua is an endangered species endemic to southern South America and inhabits temporary ponds. This study evaluates the effects of RDT concentrations (0.

Article Synopsis
  • The annual killifish Austrolebias charrua is an endangered species in South America, threatened mainly by agricultural practices and the use of glyphosate-based herbicides.
  • This study focused on identifying and validating potential reference genes for qPCR normalization across different tissues, genders, and environmental conditions in A. charrua.
  • The findings revealed that the gene 18 s was the most stable reference gene, enhancing the accuracy of gene expression studies that could help in environmental monitoring of this endangered species.

This study aimed to analyze the toxic effects of Roundup Transorb® on the endangered Neotropical annual killifish Austrolebias charrua through the assessment of molecular and biochemical biomarkers. The fish were collected in temporary ponds and exposed to environmentally realistic concentrations of the herbicide (5 mg.L for 96 h).

Annual fish live exclusively in temporary wetlands and are among the shortest-lived vertebrates in the world. These fish persist in these habitats due to drought-resistant eggs, that which, through diapauses are able to detect stimuli from the environment to start the development processes. They are also able to direct their embryonic development in different trajectories with different development times.
