Genetic Variation in Taste Sensitivity to Sugars in Drosophila melanogaster.

Chemical senses - 1 May 2017

Uchizono Shun, Tanimura Teiichi

Abstract excerpt

Taste sensitivity plays a major role in controlling feeding behavior, and alterations in feeding habit induced by changes in taste sensitivity can drive speciation. We investigated variability in taste preferences in wild-derived inbred lines from the Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel. Preferences for different sugars, which are essential nutrients for fruit flies, were assessed using two-choice...
