Wnt gene regulation and function during maxillary palp development in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Wnt genes encode secreted ligands that play many important roles in the development of metazoans. There are thirteen known Wnt gene subfamilies and seven of these are represented in Drosophila melanogaster. While wingless (wg) is the best understood and most widely studied Wnt gene in Drosophila, the functions of many of the other Drosophila Wnt genes ...

Wnt6 is required for maxillary palp formation in Drosophila. [PDF]
Abstract Background Wnt6 is an evolutionarily ancient member of the Wnt family. In Drosophila, Wnt6 loss-of-function animals have not yet been reported, hence information about fly Wnt6 function is lacking. In wing discs, Wnt6 is expressed at the dorsal/ventral boundary in a pattern similar to that of wingless, an ...

Odor Coding in the Maxillary Palp of the Malaria Vector Mosquito Anopheles gambiae [PDF]
Many species of mosquitoes, including the major malaria vector Anopheles gambiae, utilize carbon dioxide (CO(2)) and 1-octen-3-ol as olfactory cues in host-seeking behaviors that underlie their vectorial capacity. However, the molecular and cellular basis of such olfactory responses remains largely unknown.Here, we use molecular and physiological ...

The maxillary palp sensory pathway of Orthoptera
Primary sensory projections and arborisations of higher-order neurons associated with the maxillary palps were examined in Tettigoniidae, Gryllidae, Tetrigidae and Acrididae representing the two sub-orders of Orthoptera, Ensifera and Caelifera. Anterograde filling and Golgi impregnation of maxillary receptor neurons revealed two patterns of innervation,

Odor Coding in a Model Olfactory Organ: TheDrosophilaMaxillary Palp [PDF]
Odor coding relies on the activity of different classes of receptor neurons, each with distinct response characteristics. We have examined odor coding in a model olfactory organ, the maxillary palp ofDrosophila. This organ contains only 120 olfactory receptor neurons, compartmentalized in sensory hairs called sensilla, and provides an opportunity to ...

Morphology and ultrastructure of chemosensory sensilla of labio-maxillary complex in the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Col.: Chrysomelidae), larvae [PDF]
The Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), is a destructive insect pest of potato and other solanaceous crops. The type, number and distribution of sensory receptors on the labio-maxillary complex of larvae were studied using the ...

The Noncell Autonomous Requirement of Proboscipedia for Growth and Differentiation of the Distal Maxillary Palp during Metamorphosis of Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
TheDrosophilamaxillary palpus that develops during metamorphosis is composed of two elements: the proximal maxillary socket and distal maxillary palp. The HOX protein, Proboscipedia (PB), was required for development of the proximal maxillary socket and ...
