Drosophila melanogaster, Reynoutria japonica Houtt, extract, fecundity, body weight, lifespanAbstract
The paper evaluates the effects of varying concentrations (1–5%) of an extract from Reynoutria japonica Houtt. on the fecundity, body weight, and lifespan of Drosophila melanogaster Meigen, 1830. The research was carried out in vitro using nutrient media supplemented with the extract. Results showed that the population size of the flies increased, with averages ranging from 63.0 to 80.5 individuals, representing 1.8-2.4 times the control group population. Peak population growth was observed at extract concentrations of 4–5%. Body weight also increased, especially on the 30-40th day of life. At extract concentrations of 3–5%, body weight ranged from 0.89 to 1.25 mg, surpassing the control by 1.7–3.3 times. Additionally, the lifespan of the flies extended, with maximum longevity ranging from 40 to 43 days observed at 3–5% extract concentrations — an increase of 14–23% compared to the control. These findings suggest that D. melanogaster is a valuable model organism for studying the impact of plant extracts on key biological and physiological parameters of insects in laboratory settings.
