title: Puffing activity of the salivary gland chromosomes of Drosophila bicornuta.
abstract: The puffing activity of the salivary gland chromosomes during late third instar and white prepupal development, as well as after in vitro culture with or without ecdysterone of Drosophila bicornuta, was investigated. D. bicornuta belongs to the montium subgroup of the melanogaster species group, and these results are discussed and compared with those of other species of the montium subgroup.
