The Effect of Certain Gases on the Radiosensitivity of Habrobracon During Development
Description:
Groups of Habrobracon during postembryonic development were exposed to X-rays in the presence of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and hydrogen. The effects on development to adulthood were observed. Pupae exposed to 100 per cent oxygen (without X-radiation) were arrested in their development. Diploid female pupae were more resistant to X-rays and more sensitive to oxygen than were comparable haploid male pupae. Groups of Habrobracon irradiated during the larva-in-cocoon stage in the presence of…
