Rapid degeneration of Drosophila olfactory neurons in Orco mutant maxillary palps
The odorant receptor co-receptor Orco forms ligand-gated ion channels with odorant receptors (ORs) tuned to specific odors; Orco is required for trafficking of these complexes to the dendrites of olfactory neurons (Larsson et. al., 2004). Mutation of the Orco gene not only abolishes olfactory neuron activity but has also revealed potential new roles ...

The Expression of Chemosensory Genes in Male Maxillary Palps ofAnopheles coluzzii(Diptera: Culicidae) andAn. quadriannulatus [PDF]
AbstractBecause of its importance as a malaria vector, Anopheles coluzzii’s Coetzee & Wilkerson olfactory system has been studied extensively. Among this work is a series of studies comparing the expression of chemosensory genes in olfactory organs in females and/or males of these species.

Ultrastructure of sensilla on antennae and maxillary palps in three Mesembrinellidae species [PDF]
Abstract Background Having the right identification is essential in the field of entomology. The scanning electron microscopy allows rapid and accurate identification of different species of flies since a better visualization of the external morphology of immature and some adults is possible. The aim of this study is to describe some ultrastructures of

ULTRASTRUCTURAL STUDIES ON THE SENSILLA OF THE MOUTH PARTS AND ANTENNAE OF THE PRE-ADULT STAGES OF SITOPHILUS GRANARIUS (COLEOPTERA: CURCULIONIDAE) [PDF]
The granary weevil S. granarius is one of the most important stored product pests on the world, because of its damage. This pest is the main reason of the post harvest losses in world production; as a result of adults and larvae infesting and feeding on
