Abstract
The amount and quality of nutrients consumed
by organisms have a strong impact on stress resistance, life history traits and
reproduction. The balance between energy acquisition and expenditure is crucial
to the survival and reproductive success of animals. The ability of organisms
to adjust their development, physiology or behaviour in response to
environmental conditions. The availability of the food and nutrition is
important factor for the flies or organism which cope with the various types of
environmental stress. 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 Heat resistance. The results reveals that the Jeeni millet fed flies had
the greater resistance to the heat than the Wheat cream agar media which had
the least resistance to heat as well as the mixed diet had more or less equal
resistance of heat as the Jeeni millet. Further in the present study, males are
more sensitive to the heat resistance than those of the females which shows
greater tolerance to the heat, in all the three diet. Further among mated and
virgin flies, mated males and females were more resistant to the heat than
those of unmated males and females in all the three diets. Hence these studies
suggests that Jeeni millet enhances the heat resistance results in D.
melanogaster.
