Özet

This report describes the determination of the toxicity of Nerium oleander leaf-water extract on Drosophila melanogaster. The different concentrations of both boiled (bNoE) and unboiled (NoE) N. oleander extracts delayed stages of metamorphosis and caused a significant reduction in the total number of off springs (P < 0.001). Different morphogenic abnormalities in F, individuals treated with NoE/bNoE were also observed. According to the results within the experimental groups, NoE is more toxic than bNoE. The possible mechanisms of all findings have been discussed.
