Description

The effect of pre-treatment with caffeine on the induction of lethal mutations by gamma radiation (from a 60Cobalt source)or by the chemical alkylating agent, ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS), was studied in the radioresistant CO3 strain and the radiosensitive RC1 strain of Drosophila melanogaster. (M.A.C.)

Abstract (Portuguese)

Analisa-se o efeito do pre-tratamento com cafeina na inducao de letais pela radiacao gama (Cobalto 60) ou por etil metasulfonato na linhagem radiorresistente CO3 (Columbia, New York) e na sensivel RC1 (Riverside, California). (MAC)
