Introduction We are exposed to brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in daily life through multiple media including food products, air, and dusts; direct exposure to BFRs from treated goods is also of considerable importance. However, very little is known about behavior of BFRs in the consumer products. Since textile products such as curtains, carpet, and seat covers have high specific surface are...

Null mutations of the Drosophila Rh1 rhodopsin gene, ninaE, result in developmental defects in the photosensitive membranes, the rhabdomeres, of compound eye photoreceptors R1-R6. In normal flies, Rh1 expression begins at about 78% of pupal life. At approximately 90% of pupal life, a specialized catacomb-like membrane architecture develops at the base of normal rhabdomeres. In ninaE null mutant...
