Effect of gamma radiation on some biological aspects and ultrastructure of female ovaries of the house fly, Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae)

“…That means exposure to gamma radiation resulted in a progressive increase in the sterility % of all different treatments. These results are in consistent with those obtained by Mansour (1987) where, the sterility in Musca autumnalis treated males and females increased as radiation dosage increased, and Puanmanee, Wongpiyasatid, Sutantawong, and Hormchan (2010) where, there was an increase in the sterility of Bactrocera correcta when treated males crossed with untreated females and the sterility percent was increased as the gamma dosage increased. Similar results were obtained by Mohmoud and Barta (2011) who recorded that, the hatchability of Bacterocera zonata eggs reduced when non-irradiated females mated with males resulted from pupae irradiated with 10Gy.…”

Midgut cells alteration in gamma-irradiated beetles (Blaps polycresta, Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)

“…Our histological and ultrastructure investigations have confirmed that gamma irradiation has an inhibitory effect at cellular at subcellular levels and leads to obstruction in the development of the F1 progeny and finally to their death. Insect development is powered by hormones (Lee, 2012) which may be arrested due to the action of ionizing radiation (Mansour, 1987). Radiation disturbs the function of tissues and organs and produces anomalies (Wong et al, 2003;Moskalev, 2007).…”
