Characterization ofDrosophila Tyramine β-HydroxylaseGene and Isolation of Mutant Flies Lacking Octopamine

open access: yes, 1996
Octopamine is likely to be an important neuroactive molecule in invertebrates. Here we report the molecular cloning of theDrosophila melanogastergene, which encodes tyramine β-hydroxylase (TBH), the enzyme that catalyzes the last step in octopamine ...

A subset of octopaminergic neurons that promotes feeding initiation in Drosophila melanogaster.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Octopamine regulates feeding behavioral responses in Drosophila melanogaster, however the molecular and circuit mechanisms have not been fully elucidated.

RNA Interference of Dual Oxidase in the Plant Nematode Meloidogyne incognita

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2005
RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful tool for the analysis of gene function in model organisms such as the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Recent demonstrations of RNAi in plant parasitic nematodes provide a stimulus to explore the potential of using ...

P-13 The Role of Octopamine in Selective Phonotaxis by Female Cricket Acheta Domesticus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Female crickets respond phonotactically to the calls of conspecific males. Females’ response has been reported to be variable, ranging from unselective to selective of calls with varying syllable periods (30–90 ms).

RECEPTOR-MEDIATED INHIBITION OF OCTOPAMINE-STIMULATED ADENYLATE-CYCLASE IN THE OPTIC LOBE OF OCTOPUS-VULGARIS

open access: yes, 1993
. Inhibition of octopamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase was studied in the optic lobe of Octopus vulgaris. 2. The octopamine antagonist, mianserin, and the dopamine D2 agonists, PPHT and metergoline, induced dose-dependent inhibition of octopamine ...

High sensitivity of brain octopamine levels to stress [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
Rats were submitted to unsignalled and uncontrolled electrical shocks. When re-exposed to the same situation but not shocked, 24 h later, their locomotor activity was significantly reduced compared to that of controls.

Molecular and functional characterization of an octopamine receptor from honeybee (Apis mellifera) brain

open access: yes, 2003
Biogenic amines and their receptors regulate and modulate many physiological and behavioural processes in animals. In vertebrates, octopamine is only found in trace amounts and its function as a true neurotransmitter is unclear.

The Role of Octopamine and Tyramine in the Adult Female Reproductive System of Rhodnius prolixus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Octopamine and tyramine are neuroactive chemicals involved in many physiological processes acting as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators and neurohormones. Octopamine and tyramine modulate reproduction in insects.

Octopamine influences honey bee foraging preference

open access: yes, 2007
Colony condition and differences in individual preferences influence forage type collected by bees. Physiological bases for the changing preferences of individual foragers are just beginning to be examined. Recently, for honey bees octopamine is shown to

Synergic effects of tryptamine and octopamine on ophiuroid luminescence (Echinodermata).

open access: yes, 2004
In ophiuroids, bioluminescence is under nervous control. Previous studies have shown that acetylcholine is the main neurotransmitter triggering light emission in Amphipholis squamata and Amphiura filiformis.
