  1. 11. Effect of co-expression of Spodoptera olfactory receptors on Drosophila odour perception

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

    Author : Hayder Muhammad Awais; [2014]
    Keywords : co-expression; Drosophila melanogaster; Spodoptera littoralis; olfaction; olfactory receptor proteins; olfactory sensory neuron;

    Abstract : Like humans, other animals are also able to smell and differentiate a large number of odours with great accuracy. Chemosensory signals play a vital role in locating host plants by insects. Drosophila has a well-developed olfactory system which can differentiate between different odours and recognize food, oviposition sites and potential mates. READ MORE
