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
Despite the wide niention and use of genetic lethal factors, very little is known of their time and manner of action. Of the 557 or more lethals listed up to 1914 (Bridges and Brehme, '44) there were oiily 60 about which there was any information on the stage of death. The time of action of individu
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
