Abstract
Nutrition has long been recognized as an
important factor for influencing both the health span and lifespan in a variety
of animals, including flies. In the present study the
flies of Drosophila melanogaster flies are cultured in the wheat cream
agar media, Jeeni millet media and mixed media to understand the effect of
Jeeni millet traditional mix on the longevity. The results revealed that
flies fed with Jeeni millet were significantly lived shorter compared to the
wheat cream agar which lived longer and mixed diet fed flies which showed
average life span. Further in the present study. Among the male and females,
females were showed the longer life span than the males in all the three diets.
Hence this study suggests that the consumption of the Jeeni millet showed the
detrimental effect on the Longevity in the D. melanogaster. Thus, the longevity
sequences of flies in our experiments as follows wheat cream agar>Mixed
>Jeeni millet. Suggest that Consumption Jeeni millet reduces the life span
in D. melanogaster.
