โœฆ Synopsis

The roots of the herb Combretum erythrophyllum are prescribed and consumed as a medicine for sexual diseases, as an aphrodisiac, as a purgative and for treating leprosy. This plant is also a source of gums used as food adulterants. In earlier studies, the aqueous extract of this plant induced oxidative and base-pair mutations in Salmonella. We employed the sex-linked recessive lethal test to evaluate its mutagenicity in Drosophila melanogaster. In the current paper we report that the aqueous extract causes mutations in the meiotic stage of Drosophila melanogaster.

Nitroguanidine (NG) and its degradation product nitrosoguanidine (NSG) were evaluated for their mutagenic potential by using Drosophila melanogaster sex-linked recessive lethal (SLRL) assay. Following 72 h of feeding exposure, NG and NSG at concentrations of 4-8 pg ml-' and 15-20 mg ml-I, respective

To determine whether a 50-Hz magnetic field will induce mutations, a sex-linked recessive lethal test of Drosophila rnekunoguster was performed. Adult flies were exposed at an rms flux density of 500 FT or 5 mT to the homogeneous field of a Helmholtz coil. The ambient field to which controls were ex

The former US. EPA OPPT tiered test scheme for heritable gene mutations included the Drosophila sex-linked recessive lethal (SLRL) test in which positive results triggered the mouse specific locus (MSL) test. However, review of available literature indicated that the evaluation of mutations in the g
