Abstract excerpt

Raising of gamma-irradiated larvae of Drosophila melanogaster on an ethanol-containing medium resulted in decreased mutation frequency in the wing somatic mutation and recombination test. This decrease in mutagenicity was mainly caused by the reduced recombination frequency. In lines with high ac...
