Chemosensory sensilla of the Drosophila wing express a candidate ionotropic pheromone receptor.
The Drosophila wing was proposed to be a taste organ more than 35 years ago, but there has Twin Storage Bed w/Bookcase HDBD been remarkably little study of its role in chemoreception.We carry out a differential RNA-seq analysis of a row of sensilla on the anterior wing margin and find expression of many genes associated with pheromone and chemical
