Effects of polychromatic UVB irradiation on the wild-type and NER-deficient Drosophila. (A) The number of AO-stained clusters induced by UVB-irradiation at 0 kJ/m2 (open triangles), 1 kJ/m2 (closed triangles), and 5 kJ/m2 (closed circles) in wild-type larvae (mwh/flr). (B) The relationship between the number of AO-stained clusters per wing and total spots per wing at each UV dose in the wild-type flies (symbols are the same as in panel (A)). (C) The number of AO-stained clusters induced by UVB-irradiation at 0 kJ/m2 (open triangles), 0.13 kJ/m2 (closed diamonds), 0.52 kJ/m2 (closed triangles), and 1.3 kJ/m2 (closed circles) in NER-deficient larvae (mus201; mwh/flr). (D) The relationship between the number of AO-stained clusters per wing and total spots per wing at each UV dose in the NER-deficient flies (mus201; mwh/flr) (symbols are the same as in panel (C))
