Abstract excerpt
In order to characterise the response of the wing spot test in Drosophila melanogaster to the effects of compounds with known aneugenic properties, experiments were performed with chloral hydrate (CH). Following chronic exposure of 72-h-old larvae to rising concentrations of CH, significant increases in the frequency of small (1-2 cells) single spots were observed. Comparison of results obtained in parallel from...
