[Sensitivity of the ova of Drosophila (Drosophila melanogaster, Meig.) to the lethal action of ultraviolet rays. iv. Survival of embryos irradiated at the segmentation stage]. 1976

S Ghélélovitch

During the early segmentation stage, Drosophila eggs are very resistant to U.V. light. At that time their survival curve presents a plateau. This inflection of the curve cannot be explained by a restoration mechanism, nor by differential sensitivity of mitotic phases. It must be ascribed to the presence in the irradiated population of eggs that have been retained and deposited after the beginning of embryogenesis. Many reasons permit to relate the decline in resistance of the eggs to U.V. light during segmentation to the decrease in the DNA content in the cytoplasm.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014466 Ultraviolet Rays That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum immediately below the visible range and extending into the x-ray frequencies. The longer wavelengths (near-UV or biotic or vital rays) are necessary for the endogenous synthesis of vitamin D and are also called antirachitic rays; the shorter, ionizing wavelengths (far-UV or abiotic or extravital rays) are viricidal, bactericidal, mutagenic, and carcinogenic and are used as disinfectants.
