A new teratogenic agent applied to amphibian embryos

W. C. Levengood

Open publisher page 27 citations

Abstract

ABSTRACT It has been demonstrated that the application of the magnetic probe to Drosophila pupae has a pronounced influence on the pattern of morphogenesis (Levengood, 1966). In addition to morphological abnormalities, there was a retardation of development which continued to occur without further treatment in succeeding generations. A theoretical basis for these disturbances has been proposed (Levengood, 1967).
