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

In an experiment (reported in the Jour. Exp. Zool., page 390, November, 1911) in which three sex-linked characters were involved, namely, white eyes, vermilion eyes and miniature wings, certain results were obtained involving double crossing-over. The more recent results indicate that double crossin
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 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 oxidat
