Abstract
Oregon-R Drosophila melanogaster males were fed medium containing 0, 250, and 1000 pm of 2,4,5-T to test the mutagenic effects of this herbicide. Both levels of the herbicide increased the number of sex-linked recessive lethals. This increase in mutation rate was found to be significant only at the 1000 ppm concentration.
