Abstract excerpt
Different wild-type strains of Drosophila melanogaster display variation in the ability to resist the toxic effects of continuous development from the egg stage on media supplemented with aflatoxin B1 (AFB1, a potent insect toxigenic agent and vertebrate hepatocarcinogen). The genetic basis of differences in egg-pupa development time and egg-adult viability have been investigated by chromosome substitution...
