Abstract
The sterilities of stocks with chromosomal aberrations were enhanced by re-irradiation. Males heterozygous for two independent aberrations were synthesized and their sterilities determined. The possible advantages of the double heterozygote males over either completely sterile males or those heterozygous for only one aberrational complex are discussed.Keywords
