Abstract
Radiation induced sex chromosome loss was used to determine the optimal stage at which to irradiate developing male gonial cells in order to produce compound autosomes. In Lucilia, the optimal stage for inducing sex chromosome loss was correlated with the stage at which the greatest number of radiation induced compound chromosomes was recovered. By analogy with Drosophila the data suggest that the 2-3 day old pupa is the earliest stage at which spermatocytes are produced in Lucilia. Using this method it is possible to determine the optimal age at which to irradiate in order to produce compound chromosomes in other pest species where information relating spermatogenic development to age is limited.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
