THE EFFECT OF X-RADIATION ON LONGEVITY IN DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER. Technical Progress Report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4801124
Data are presented for the length of life post eclosion for control and irradiated groups of flies form a crossed strain. The amounts of radiation used were 25 r for eggs; 250 r for larvae; 250, 2,500, 7,500, and 15,000 r for imagoes. Both mated and unmated groups were studied. The results indicate that (1) irradiation lowers the life of imagoes, although inconsistent results were obtained for imagoes from irradiated larvae and eggs, and that (2) females outlive males in both irradiated and control flies.
