6 , (densitometric analyses of agarose gels from RT-PCR experiments), TNT, compared to control, caused a clear induction of the carbonyl reductase gene in the gills, hepatopancreas, mantle and muscle tissues of the mussels which was highly significant in gills at 0.62 and 2.5 mg/L TNT concentrations.
