Abstract excerpt

The influence of mus201 and mus308 mutants on acrolein mutagenicity was analyzed with the Drosophila melanogaster sex-linked recessive lethal test (SLRL), using the maternal approach, to further study the mechanisms of action of this chemical. The hypermutability indices obtained were 2.59 for mu...
