Abstract
When 3-day-old pupae of the house fly, Musca domestica L., were exposed to oxygen, carbon dioxide, and air during gamma irradiation, aeration had no effect on eclosion, but eclosion was reduced as much as 10% by exposure to 6000 R. The percentage sterility produced by the gamma rays in males and females was reduced by carbon dioxide. The other treatments had no apparent effect.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
