Sugar receptors in Drosophila.

Current biology : CB - 23 Oct 2007

Slone Jesse, Daniels Joseph, Amrein Hubert

Abstract excerpt

The detection and discrimination of chemical compounds in potential foods are essential sensory processes when animals feed. The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster employs 68 different gustatory receptors (GRs) for the detection of mostly nonvolatile chemicals that include sugars, a diverse group of toxic compounds present in many inedible plants and spoiled foods, and pheromones [1-6]. With the exception of a...
