Morphogenesis studies by means of X-rays

III. X-ray induced persistence of a larval character in Drosophila

Summary

A peculiar x-ray induced localized growth inDrosophila imagos is described and provisionally identified as a persistent larval spiracle. The view is expressed that a chromosomal upset changes the cell chemistry in such a way as to make them impervious to normal destruction during metamorphosis.
