Chromosomal recombination suppressors (RS) were induced and studied as part of a programme to induce and isolate temperature-sensitive recessive lethal factors, for subsequent use in genetic sexing mechanisms in the medfly, Ceratitis capitata (Wied.). The presence of induced RS factors was identifi
