Utilization of Antiseptics for Rearing of the Smaller Tea Tortrix (Adoxophyes orana) on Synthetic Food Medium

In the present study, an attempt was made to study the effect of plant extract on Sexual behaviour of Mutant Strain (Curled) of Drosophila melanogaster. The LC50 has been estimated with 1% of the food media. The virgin females and males were isolated and fed with normal food media for three days. Then sub-lethal concentrations of 0.625 μl / 100 ml food, 1.2 μl /100 ml food, 2.5μl /100 / food of nicotine were mixed in food medium and allowed in flies to feed for two days. Then appropriate combination of untreated / treated males and females were introduced into the mating chamber. Courtship latency, mating latency and copulation duration were studied. After observation of the behaviour, mated flies were allowed to produce progeny. The sexual behaviour of bachelor male and virgin female obtained in the progeny was also studied. The pooled data were analyzed by student t-test and the result indicates p-value significant at 0.05 levels. The courtship latency was affected by in treatment but it is neither dose dependent nor sex dependent.

The Sundarbans

Samples of Drosophila species were collected from some selected sites (viz., Dohar Upazila of Dhaka Division, Hironpoint of the Sundarbans, Satchori of Sylhet Division) of Bangladesh and these were cultured in the laboratory to study developmental stages, external morphological traits and sex comb. They were identified as D. melanogaster, D. ananassae and D. bipectinata. The sex comb teeth number and arrangement were distinct for all three species. D. melanogaster had one row of 10 - 11 teeth in the sex comb. D. ananassae had eight rows of teeth in the sex comb possessing 32 - 33 teeth in total. D. bipectinata had 2 - 3 rows of teeth in the sex comb and total teeth number varied from 11 to 15. Among three species, sex comb teeth number of D. bipectinata varied most. Eleven different patterns (n=20) in sex comb were observed in D. bipectinata indicating significant diversity within species. Variation in pupation sites among three species was also observed in the laboratory condition. D. bipectinata pupated on the food medium, whereas other two species pupated on the vial wall. Thus, diversity among these three species of Drosophila was documented which could be utilized as bioindicator in future. Dhaka Univ. J. Biol. Sci. 28(2): 167-176, 2019 (July)
