Abstract

Electromagnetic fields are a foreign substance to living organisms. The experiments with adult Drosophila demonstrated that the mean life-span of a triple mutant of Oster (bw:st $p^p$ ) strain might be altered by pulsed square wave (10 GHz). However in the other single mutants of white (w) and multiple wing hair(mwh) the mean life span has not changed. Further research is necessary in order to clarify the effects of EM fields in Drosophila.
