title: Galactose induced Balbiani-ring-like structures in chromosomes I and II of Chironomus thummi.
abstract: In one strain of Chironomus thummi, galactose feeding of the larvae induced the appearance of 2 Balbiani-ring-like structures on salivary gland chromosomes I and II. This phenomenon may be related to the galactose induction of BR6 in C. pallidivittatus.
