Genome-Wide Analysis of Odorant and Gustatory Receptors in Six Papilio Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae)

open access: yesInsects, 2022
The chemical interactions of insects and host plants are shaping the evolution of chemosensory receptor gene families. However, the correlation between host range and chemoreceptor gene repertoire sizes is still elusive in Papilionidae.

Sensing Senses: Optical Biosensors to Study Gustation

open access: yesSensors, 2020
The five basic taste modalities, sweet, bitter, umami, salty and sour induce changes of Ca2+ levels, pH and/or membrane potential in taste cells of the tongue and/or in neurons that convey and decode gustatory signals to the brain.

Enhanced sweet taste perception in obesity: Joint analysis of gustatory data from multiple studies

open access: yesFrontiers in Nutrition, 2022
IntroductionWhile sweet taste perception is a potential determinant of feeding behavior in obesity, the supporting evidence is inconsistent and is typically associated with methodological limitations.

Identification and Characterization of Odorant Binding Proteins in the Forelegs of Adelphocoris lineolatus (Goeze)

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2017
The chemosensory system is essential for insects to detect exogenous compounds, and odorant binding proteins (OBPs) play crucial roles in odorant binding and transduction.

The Structure and Function of Ionotropic Receptors in Drosophila

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021
Ionotropic receptors (IRs) are a highly divergent subfamily of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluR) and are conserved across Protostomia, a major branch of the animal kingdom that encompasses both Ecdysozoa and Lophothrochozoa.

Tasting with Eyes

open access: yesi-Perception, 2011
Whenever we eat and drink something, we experience the sense of taste. We attribute the sense of taste to gustation without doubt, but it is not true. The olfaction is the most important component of the flavor.

Mouthparts of the bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) exhibit poor acuity for the detection of pesticides in nectar

open access: yeseLife, 2023
Bees are important pollinators of agricultural crops, but their populations are at risk when pesticides are used. One of the largest risks bees face is poisoning of floral nectar and pollen by insecticides. Studies of bee detection of neonicotinoids have

Taste-Driven Responsiveness to Fat and Sweet Stimuli in Mouse Models of Bariatric Surgery

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2022
A preferential consumption of healthier foods, low in fat and sugar, is often reported after bariatric surgery, suggesting a switch of taste-guided food choices.

A taste for words and sounds: a case of lexical-gustatory and sound-gustatory synesthesia

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2013
Gustatory forms of synesthesia involve the automatic and consistent experience of tastes that are triggered by non-taste related inducers. We present a case of lexical-gustatory and sound-gustatory synesthesia within one individual, SC.
