An experiment was conducted to determine if the addition of L-Dopa would effect the survival rate of the embryos. Results showed that fewer eggs were laid with AMT and therefore fewer eggs produced larvae. In contrast, AMT with L-Dopa showed the rescue of some of the embryos.
Further experimentation is needed to determine if the ple mutants used can also be rescued.
