Or83b encodes a broadly expressed odorant receptor essential for Drosophila olfaction.

Mc Larsson Ai Domingos Wd Jones Me Chiappe Hubert Amrein Lb Vosshall

Fruit flies are attracted by a diversity of odors that signal the presence of food, potential mates, or attractive egg-laying sites. Most Drosophila olfactory neurons express two types of odorant receptor genes: Or83b, a broadly expressed receptor of unknown function, and one or more members of a family of 61 selectively expressed receptors. While ...

A putative Drosophila pheromone receptor expressed in male-specific taste neurons is required for efficient courtship.

S Bray Hubert Amrein

Published in Neuron Glia Biology

Propagation in higher animals requires the efficient and accurate display of innate mating behaviors. In Drosophila melanogaster, male courtship consists of a stereotypic sequence of behaviors involving multiple sensory modalities, such as vision, audition, and chemosensation. For example, taste bristles located in the male forelegs and the labial ...
