Ionotropic receptors mediate nitrogenous waste avoidance in Drosophila melanogaster
Dhakal et al. use chemoreceptor screening on three ionotropic receptors in Drosophila, IR25a, IR76b, IR51b to evaluate their impact on avoidance behaviors against nitrogenous waste products. The results of electrophysiology assays show that ammonia compounds are aversive in taste by directly activat...

| Sumario: | Dhakal et al. use chemoreceptor screening on three ionotropic receptors in Drosophila, IR25a, IR76b, IR51b to evaluate their impact on avoidance behaviors against nitrogenous waste products. The results of electrophysiology assays show that ammonia compounds are aversive in taste by directly activating bitter-sensing gustatory receptor neurons. |
