Description:
Morphological abnormalities including extra compound eyes, extra heads, and distally duplicated legs were generated in cricket embryos by treating eggs with single doses of either benz[g]isoquinoline-5,10-dione or benzo[h]quinoline-5,6-dione. Slight structural modifications of the molecules resulted in a loss of teratogenic activity, although embryotoxicity occurred. These potent insect teratogens can be used for analysis of developmental events during embryogenesis.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Walton, B T -- Ho, C -- Ma, C Y -- O'Neill, E G -- Kao, G L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Oct 28;222(4622):422-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6623081" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
