Drosophila melanogaster 에 미치는 제초제의 생리변이적 영향에 관한 연구 = The Study on Physiological Toxic and Mutagenic Effects of herbicides in Drosophila melanogaster

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Glyphosate (isopropylamine salt of N-(phosphono methyl)) and glufosinate ammonium (ammonium 4-[hydroxy(methyl) phosphinoyl]), the herbicides, were fed to Drosophila melanogaster in order to compare their physiological toxic and mutagenic effects. These herbicides were highly toxic on the development of D. melanogaster, resulting in lowering the viabilities from larvae to adults and prolongation of the developmental times, and glufosinate ammonium was slightly more toxic than glyphosate. As to the sex ratio of adult flies fed these herbicides during the development, there was no differences between the control and the treated groups. We also tested the somatic cell mutageneic potencies of these herbicies using a Drosophila wing hairs spot test system (mwh/flr system). The frequencies of small single mwh spots due to terminal deletion or gene mutation on chromosome 3 in the transheterozygouse (mwh +/ + flr) larvae treated with these herbicies were 3∼4 times higher than those of the control group. These results seem to suggest that glyphosate and glufosinate ammonium may exert their mutagenic properties.
