Effect of 2-(3-pyridyl)-1,8-naphthyridine and 2-methyl-3-acetyl-1,8-naphthyridine on chromosomes of germ cells in Poekilocerus pictus (Orthoptera).
The cytological effects of two water soluble compounds, viz. 2-(3-pyridyl)-1,8-naphthyridine and 2-methyl-3-acetyl-1,8-naphthyridine, on the chromosomes of the male germ cells of grasshopper Poekilocerus pictus were studied. Of these two compounds, the former was more potent in inducing structural changes in the chromosomes.
