Mutagenicity of sumithion tested in Drosophila somatic and germ cells.

Mutation research - 1 Jun 1991

Tripathy N K, Patnaik K K

Abstract excerpt

Sumithion, a broad-spectrum insecticide, was tested for its mutagenicity in the Drosophila wing-spot test and sex-linked recessive lethal test. Strains carrying the recessive mutant markers mwh and flr3 in their third chromosomes, expressed phenotypically as multiple trichomes or thickened and misshapen wing hairs in the adult wings, were used in the wing-spot test. Larvae transheterozygous for these markers were...
