Abstract: | Embryos of Pleurodeles waltlii at the hatching stage were irradiated with doses of 50 to 5 000 rad. From 70 to 500 rad chromosomal aberrations appear; they are studied respectively 24,48 hours and 3 weeks after the treatment. Breakages are observed, that may be followed by rearrangements, i.e. acentric, telocentric and dicentric fragments, chromatid translocations and chromosome translocations. With time, the cells showing the most severe abnormalities are eliminated by the developing larvae. From 1 000 rad cytoplasmic structures (membrane systems and mitochondria) are alterated . |
