title: The effect of treating Drosophila females with chlorophyllin on the yield of dominant lethals recovered from irradiated sperm.
abstract: Evidence is presented that treating the Drosophila female with chlorophyllin (CHLN) has a marked effect on the yield of dominant lethals induced by the irradiation of sperm. The yield is significantly greater in the embryonic period (between the egg and the first instar) and is significantly reduced in postembryonic stages compared with a sucrose control.
