Evolution of a complex locus : exon gain, loss and divergence at the Gr39a locus in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2008 Background. Gene families typically evolve by gene duplication followed by the adoption of new or altered gene functions. A different way to evolve new but related functions is alternative splicing of existing exons of a complex gene.

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2017 Division of labor is a hallmark of social insects. In the honeybee (Apis mellifera) each sterile female worker performs a series of social tasks. The most drastic changes in behavior occur when a nurse bee, who takes care of the brood and the queen in ...

THE INFLUENCE OF ANIONS ON THE ACTIVITY OF GUSTATORY RECEPTORS
The Japanese Journal of Physiology, 1958 (1) The influence of various anions on activity of gustatory receptors was investigated by adapting the tongue of a frog to modified anion-Ringer, in which all Cl was substituted for Br, I, NO3, SCN, SO4 and H2PO4.(2) Immediately after exchange of normal Ringer with one of these modified anion-Ringers the response of the tongue was not appreciably ...

Characterization of gustatory receptor 7 in the brown planthopper reveals functional versatility
bioRxiv, 2020 Insect pests consume tastants as their necessary energy and nutrient sources. Gustatory receptors play important roles in insect life and can form within an extremely complicated regulatory network. However, there are still many gustatory genes that have

PLoS ONE, 2019 In insects, the gustatory system has a critical function not only in selecting food and feeding behaviours but also in growth and metabolism. Gustatory receptors play an irreplaceable role in insect gustatory signalling.

Description of Chemosensory Genes in Unexplored Tissues of the Moth Spodoptera littoralis
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Illumina-based transcriptome sequencing of chemosensory organs has become a standard in deciphering the molecular bases of chemical senses in insects, especially in non-model species.

Neurophysiological and behavioral responses of gypsy moth larvae to insect repellents: DEET, IR3535, and picaridin. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The interactions between insect repellents and the olfactory system have been widely studied, however relatively little is known about the effects of repellents on the gustatory system of insects. In this study, we show that the gustatory receptor neuron

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Honeybees (Apis mellifera) need their fine sense of taste to evaluate nectar and pollen sources. Gustatory receptors (Grs) translate taste signals into electrical responses.

Stimulation of the gerbil's gustatory receptors by disaccharides [PDF]
Brain Research, 1976 The gustatory responses from the chorda tympani nerve of the Mongolian gerbil, Meriones unguiculatus, were treated with 13 disaccharides. Sucrose was the most stimulatory sugar. The ability of fructosyl glycosides to stimulate may depend upon the linkage between fructose and the glycoside. Disaccharides possessing 1 leads to 3, 1 leads to 4, or 1 leads

Stimulation of the gerbil's gustatory receptors by saccharin [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 1982 The gustatory responses from the chorda tympani nerve of the Mongolian gerbil, Meriones unguiculatus, were tested with saccharin and some closely related compounds. Only two compounds, saccharin and 6- chlorosaccharin, stimulated the gerbil's taste receptors to any degree and in the same order in which they are sweet to man, saccharin greater than 5 ...
