A Drosophila Gustatory Receptor Required for Strychnine Sensation.

Chemical senses - 1 Sept 2015

Lee Youngseok, Moon Seok Jun, Wang Yijin, Montell Craig

Abstract excerpt

Strychnine is a potent, naturally occurring neurotoxin that effectively protects plants from animal pests by deterring feeding behavior. In insects, such as the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, bitter-tasting aversive compounds are detected primarily through a family of gustatory receptors (GRs), which are expressed in gustatory receptor neurons. We previously described multiple GRs that eliminate the...
