TL;DR: The rapidity and ease of performance as well as the low costs of the test necessitate a high priority for validation of this promising Drosophila short-term test.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing the mutagenicity of malondialdehyde and formaldehyde by the Drosophila mosaic and the sex-linked recessive lethal tests.
TL;DR: Wing mosaicism offers a more sensitive way to detect mutagenesis as compared with eye mosaicism and it is suggested that aldehyde-induced mosaic spots derive from mitotic recombination and point mutations.

Chapter 6 Genetic and Variegation Mosaics in the Eye of Drosophila
TL;DR: The chapter discusses the genetic and variegation mosaics in the eye of Drosophila, which show special types of differentiation shown by variegated areas that are useful for clarifying the general problems in differentiation.

XXV.—Chemically Induced Mosaicism in Drosophila melanogaster
TL;DR: The object of the present paper is to summarize the data on chemically induced mosaicism, contrast them with similar data from X-ray experiments, and discuss the similarities and differences from the point of view of the mechanism of induced mutation.

Mutagen sensitivity of Drosophila melanogaster I. Isolation and preliminary characterization of a methyl methanesulphonate-sensitive strain
TL;DR: Sensitivity to the monofunctional alkylating agent methyl methanesulfonate has been tested as a selection technique to isolate mutant strains which can provide insights into the genetic control of DNA replication, DNA repair and recombination in the complex eucaryote, Drosophila melanogaster.

TL;DR: It is concluded that in the system used the mutagenicity of captan and folpet could not be demonstrated, although a very weak effect cannot be excluded.
