ANALYSIS OF ACHYRANTHES ASPERA (ASH) ON REPRODUCTIVE FITNESS OF DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER.
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmaceutical Applications - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Drosophila is a suitable model organism to test phytochemicals. The objective of our study was to explore the potential of Achyranthes aspera on reproductive fitness of Drosophila melanogaster using larval and adult feeding methods. The decrease in the fecundity, fertility, developmental time, ovarioles number, hatchability and viability was observed in adult feeding than larval feeding methods. According to the Chi-square the percentage of the hatchability is decreased in treated compare with control one and significant difference in viability in adult feeding method. Our findings shows the adult one which are exposed are more sensitive compare with larval stage.
