Abstract
The egg of the wasp Habrobracon is of such nature that the nucleus and the cytoplasm can be damaged separately by UV radiation by exposing the convex (nuclear) surface, on the one hand, or the concave (cytoplasmic) surface, on the other. Under these conditions, with hatchability as the criterion, nuclear inactivation data follow an exponential survival curve; cytoplasmic inactivation data follow a sigmoidal curve. The damaged nucleus can be photoreactivated; injured cytoplasm appears not to be subject to photoreactivation.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
