Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): positive
It is concluded that hydroxylamine hydrochloride caused chromosome aberrations (breaks, fragmentation, bridge formation) in the spermatocytes based on the results given in this report.
Executive summary:

A single abdominal injection into male locusts of 0.05 ml hydroxylamine hydrochloride as a 0.1 M solution (equivalent to 350µg) caused chromosome aberrations (breaks, fragmentation, bridge formation) in the spermatocytes 36 hours later, effects which were not observed in the controls.
