Abstract
A method for the direct isolation of useful genetic strains was shown effective in the onion maggot. This method circumvents the extensive preliminary investigations called for by current concepts in genetic population control. From genomes treated with 1.5 kr of gamma radiation, the system showed that 17% of those tested carried chromosomal rearrangements potentially useful in genetic population reduction.Keywords
