Abstract

The influence of ionizing radiation on oocyte development and male reproductive success in Archips podana has been studied. The increase of the percentage of the vitellogenous oocyte and the decrease of the percentage of the chorion oocyte against the control have been shown. Additionally, increases in the percentage of sterile females and the number of sterile eggs have been pointed out when control females mated with irradiated males.
