Analysis of the relationship between age of larvae at mutagen treatment and frequency and size of spots in the wing somatic mutation and recombination test inDrosophila melanogaster

The somatic white-ivory eye spot test do

The somatic white-ivory eye spot test does not detect the same spectrum of genotoxic events as the wing somatic mutation and recombination test in Drosophila melanogaster

A group of six chemical compounds was tested in parallel in two different somatic genotoxicity assays in Drosophila rnelanogaster, the wing somatic mutation and recombination test (SMART) and the whiteivory eye spot test. The wing spot test makes use of the wing cell markers multiple wing hairs (rnw
