Description
Three day-old adults of the confused flour beetle, tribolium confusum were irradiated with gamma doses (10-40 Gray) to investigate the effects of irradiation on the F1 development and on the activity of esterase enzyme in F1 adult males and females. The total numbers of the F1 larvae, pupae and adults were decreased with increasing the irradiation dose. Esterase pattern of the adults was affected by the higher doses of irradiation. The mutagenic effect of these doses is represented by the disappearance of the electrophoretic patterns of some beetles.4 Figs., 1 Tab
