Abstract excerpt
The survival adaptive response (the life span alteration) induced by low-level radiation was studied in Drosophila using wild type strain (Canton-S) and strains mutant in genes of heat shock factor Hsf (1-4 alleles) and heat shock proteins (Hsp70Ba(304), Hsp83(e6A), Hsp22(EY09909)). The inductive doses of gamma-radiation were 6 and 60 cGy at a dose of 0.017 and 0.17 cGy/h. As a challenging dose we used feeding of...
