Abstract excerpt
Griseofulvin (GF), a carcinogenic spindle poison, was tested in two types of somatic-cell assays of Drosophila melanogaster, one of which detects the induction of DNA damage and the other mutation/mitotic recombination. In both assays, GF was fed to tester larvae and genetic endpoints examined after emergence. In the wing spot test, trans-heterozygous flies carrying mwh and flr3 wing-hair mutations produced both...
