Abstract excerpt

This study supplied no evidence that P-M hybrid dysgenesis is a general release mechanisms for transposon movement. Newly induced mutations (23 singed, three yellow, and one white) were generated by hybrid dysgenesis and were molecularly analyzed for the presence or absence of P element insertion...
