Abstract excerpt
We characterized molecular profiles of a new olfactory mutant line, honoka (hono), which was found among 500 viable P-element insertion lines screened first by 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indrolyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside (X-gal) staining on the third segment of the antenna, and then by behavioral assays to several pure chemicals. The behavioral responses of hono mutants to repellents such as ethyl acetate (EA),...
