Note: Differential Sensitivity Of Three Species Of Drosophila To Two Cyclic Hydrocarbons

V A. Vijayan | Nidaghatta B. Krishnamurthy

Abstract:

Sensitivity of three Drosophila species namely D. melanogaster, D. nasuta nasuta and D. sulfuricaster neonasuto to two cyclic hydrocarbons, namely: Dithranol (1,8,9-trihydroxy anthracene). 2,4-dichloro-1-was studied.
