  • 1. Ibaraki Univ., Ami (Japan). Faculty of Agriculture

Description

The morphological changes of Drosophila testis were investigated during 30 days after irradiation of X-, γ- and Neutron-rays (Fig. 2--7). The size of testis was decreased by about 30% after the 4-6th day of 4,000R-irradiation. It may be concluded that the reduction of size of the irradiated testis is one of the biodosimetry in Drosophila melanogaster in much the same way that they have been obtained from male mice.
