Genetics of bitter perception in mice.

Physiology & behavior - 1 Dec 1994

Whitney G, Harder D B

Abstract excerpt

Inbred and congenic strains exhibited several patterns of relative sensitivity to bitter tastants in 48-h, two-bottle preference tests. With segregation analyses of descendents of crosses between contrasting strains, these patterns suggested at least three genetic loci influencing bitter perception. The extensively characterized Soa (sucrose octaacetate) locus underlies one pattern. Variation at this locus had...
