Abstract

The effects of ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS), on meiotic chromosomes in general and translocations in particular was studied during spermatogenesis in two races of silkworm Bombyx mori L. Different concentrations ofEMSlike 2.5, 5, 10, 20 and 40 m M in 0.75% NaCl was employed by'oral injection". The results indicated that increase in concentration of EMS would enhance the frequency of aberrations in total as well as individual types. They include loops, partially paired bivalents, fragments, stickiness and, stickiness and clumping. This basic knowledge could be useful in silkworm breeding programme.
