Abstract excerpt
The repair efficiency of four thermotolerant and four thermosensitive isofemale lines of Drosophila melanogaster originating from "Evolution Canyon" (Mt Carmel, Israel) was tested using 2-acetylaminofluorene (2-AAF) as mutagen. First, males of the standard laboratory line Canton S were treated with either 2-AAF solution or control solution. Then, females of the "Evolution Canyon" lines were crossed with treated...
