Two chromium(VI) compounds (potassium chromate and potassium dichromate) and one chromium(III) compound, chromium chloride, were evaluated for genotoxic effects in the wing spot test of Drosophila melanogaster following standard procedures. This assay detects both somatic recombination and mutationa

The phenoxyacetates 2,4-D and 4-CPA were evaluated for genotoxicity using the Drosophila melanogaster wing spot test, which assesses for somatic mutation and recombination events. Third-instar larvae trans-heterozygous for two recessive mutations affecting the expression of wing trichomes, multiple
Effects of temperature on genotoxic potency of cisplatin were studied in the Drosophila wing spot assay. A fixed concentration of 0.05 mM cisplatin was evaluated for genotoxicity at 4 temperatures (18, 20, 25, and 29 degrees C). The compound was found to be a positive inducer of all three endpoints
A working group of five statisticians experienced in the use of statistical methods in mutagenicity reviewed aspects of the statistical analysis of genotoxicity test procedures. Issues discussed included methods for integrating biological importance and statistical significance, the relationship of
