Description 767-773
The circadian rhythms are ubiquitous and confer an adaptive advantage to an individual/population by synchronising its daily activity to its surroundings. Circadian rhythms are controlled by self-sustained oscillator and they continue to oscillate in constant condition. Locomotor activity is one such robust self sustained oscillation. It is essential/crucial for an organism’s survival such as feeding, mate choice, escape from the predator, etc. The present investigations were made to understand the effect of Mucuna pruriens and Glycyrrhiza glabra on locomotor behaviour of the Drosophila melanogaster (Oregon K strain) and vestigial wing mutant flies. Locomotor activity rhythms were assayed in D.melanogaster and vestigial wing mutant flies using Drosophilaactivity monitor and the amount of activity was measured. Theresults revealed that the Mucuna pruriens and Glycyrrhiza glabratreated flies showed increased activity when compared to controlflies, between treated groups, higher concentration treated fliesshowed maximum activity than lower concentration treated flies.Statistical analysis showed that there is a significant difference inthe locomotor activity among control and treated groups ofD.melanogaster and vestigial wing mutant of Mucuna pruriensseed and Glycyrrhiza glabra root extract.
