Dietary exposure to essential oils of selected Pinus and Abies species leads to morphological changes in Drosophila melanogaster wings
Essential oils (EOs) from conifer species are a potential source of biopesticides due to their various bioactive effects against pest insects. Since the harmful activity of pest insects often relies on their ability to fly, the disruption of wing morphology due to the use of essential oils (EOs) cou...

| description | Essential oils (EOs) from conifer species are a potential source of biopesticides due to their various bioactive effects against pest insects. Since the harmful activity of pest insects often relies on their ability to fly, the disruption of wing morphology due to the use of essential oils (EOs) could be significant. This study investigated changes in wing shape and size in the model insect Drosophila melanogaster after exposure to EOs derived from selected conifers species. Drosophila larvae were treated with a diet containing 3% EOs from 6 Pinus and 3 Abies species. After completing their life cycle, the wings of adults were dissected and analyzed using the geometric morphometrics method. Changes in Drosophila wing morphology were observed. The potential effect of the major compounds of the tested EOs on wing morphology is discussed. We believe that this study lays the foundation for further evaluation of Abies and Pinus EOs in targeted toxicological studies against pest insects by focusing on the potential of EOs to disrupt pest activities that depend on wing morphology. |
