By means of measurement of CO(2) respiratory rates it has been possible to observe immediate and latent effects of x-ray irradiations upon Drosophila larvae. The observations were extended over a period of several days, the duration of the prepupal period being observed also. In every instance a significant decrease in the rate of CO(2) respiration was observed immediately after irradiation. This decrease was univariant with the period of irradiation within the experimental limits.
通过测量 CO(2)呼吸率,我们可以观察到 X 射线照射对果蝇幼虫的即时和潜伏效应。观察期持续了几天,也观察了预蛹期的持续时间。在每种情况下,照射后立即观察到 CO(2)呼吸率显著下降。这种下降与实验范围内的照射时间呈单变量关系。
