Abstract excerpt
A set of six Drosophila strains was developed, by inducing by chemical treatment with N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) new white and, in some strains, yellow mutations in 3 wild-type (WT) and 3 insecticide-resistant (IR) populations. These strains were previously shown to vary with regard to contents...
