  • Title: Studies on mutagen-sensitive strains of Drosophila melanogaster. VII. Effects of repair deficiency in males on X-ray-induced sex-linked recessive lethals in spermatozoa.
    Author: Sankaranarayanan K, Ferro W.
    Journal: Mutat Res; 1985 May; 149(3):415-9. PubMed ID: 3921832.
    Abstract:
    The response of mature spermatozoa to the X-ray induction (500 R and 3000 R) of sex-linked recessive lethals was studied in Drosophila melanogaster males known to be deficient in excision- or post-replication repair of UV damage in somatic cells. The results show that the induced frequencies of recessive lethals in the excision-repair-deficient males (mei-9a and mei-9L1) are similar to those in the appropriate repair-proficient males (mei+ and Berlin-K). However, in the post-replication-repair-deficient males (w mus(1)101D1), these frequencies are significantly lower than in the comparable repair-proficient males (w) after 500 R, but not after 3000 R.
