摘要

A commercial grade Pindone was tested for the induction of genetic damage in male germ cells of Drosophila melanogaster by adult ingestion. Adults were starved for 4 days and then fed pindone at a concentration of 1 mM in ethyl alcohol 15% containing sucrose 5%. Pindone was found to increase the frequency of sex chromosome loss. Results were significant at the 1% level (Kastenbaum-Bowman test). However no significant results were obtained by the sex linked recessive lethal assay.
