Two odorant receptors regulate 1-octen-3-ol induced oviposition behavior in the oriental fruit fly
Communications Biology, 2023 Gravid female fruit flies show a strong preference to 1-octen-3-ol, a volatile compound from mango. Two odorant receptors are shown to regulate 1- octen-3-ol induced oviposition behaviour.
