Odorant receptors tuned to isothiocyanates in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> are co-opted and expanded in herbivorous relatives
2024-10-11
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Plants release volatile compounds that attract mutualists, deter herbivores, and deceive pollinators. Among them are electrophilic compounds such as isothiocyanates (ITCs) derived Brassicales plants that activate TrpA1 pain receptors by contact in Drosophila melanogaster and humans. However, it is unclear whether generalist animals evolved strategies to detect these electrophilic compounds via...
