Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Gr59cΔ homozygotes exhibit the following electrophysiological response changes of labellar sensilla to bitter tastants, as compared to controls: I-a and I-b sensilla display ectopic responses to Theobromine, Caffeine, Umbelliferone and Theophylline, and virtual elimination of the responses to (-)-lobeline HCl, Denatonium benzoate and Berberine chloride; S-a sensilla display a significantly decreased response to Denatonium benzoate; these labellar sensilla types display no significant electrophysiological response changes to Rotenone, N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide, Escin, Gossypol, Cucurbitacin I hydrate, D-(+)-sucrose octaacetate, Azadirachtin, Aristolochic acid, Myricetin, Strychnine nitrate salt, Coumarin, Saponin, Sparteine sulfate salt and Quinine.

Reference

In Gr59cΔ homozygous labellar I-a sensilla, the novel electrophysiological responses to Theophylline and Umbelliferone are enhanced by the Scer\GAL4Gr89a.2-driven expression of Gr28aScer\UAS.cDa, but not Gr36aScer\UAS.cDa or Gr28bScer\UAS.A.cDa, and by the Scer\GAL4Gr66a.1.8-driven expression of Gr22bScer\UAS.cDa, whereas the increased response to Caffeine is enhanced upon Scer\GAL4Gr89a.2-driven expression of Gr28aScer\UAS.cDa, suppressed upon Scer\GAL4Gr89a.2-driven expression of Gr36aScer\UAS.cDa and unchanged upon Scer\GAL4Gr89a.2-driven expression of Gr28bScer\UAS.A.cDa or Scer\GAL4Gr66a.1.8-driven expression of Gr22bScer\UAS.cDa; the Scer\GAL4Gr89a.2-driven expression of Gr28aScer\UAS.cDa in these mutant sensilla also leads to novel responses to Azadirachtin and Coumarin, and leads to significantly increased responses to Aristolochic acid, Saponin and Strychnine nitrate salt; the Scer\GAL4Gr89a.2-driven expression of Gr36aScer\UAS.cDa in these mutant sensilla leads to novel responses to D-(+)-sucrose octaacetate, Sparteine sulfate salt, coumarin and Azadirachtin, leads to significantly increased responses to Saponin and Aristolochic acid, and leads to significantly decreased responses to Berberine chloride and Caffeine; the Scer\GAL4Gr89a.2-driven expression of Gr28bScer\UAS.A.cDa in these mutant sensilla leads to a significantly increased response to Aristolochic acid; the Scer\GAL4Gr66a.1.8-driven expression of Gr22bScer\UAS.cDa in these mutant sensilla leads to novel electrophysiological responses to Azadirachtin, Sparteine sulfate salt, Escin and D-(+)-sucrose octaacetate and to the virtual elimination of the responses to Aristolochic acid, Saponin, Berberine chloride and Strychnine nitrate salt.

Comments

The changes in electrophysiological response of labellar I-a sensilla to bitter tastants observed in Gr59cΔ homozygotes - i.e. ectopic responses to Caffeine, Umbelliferone and Theophylline, and virtual elimination of response to (-)-lobeline HCl, Denatonium benzoate and Berberine chloride - are fully rescued by the expression of Gr59cScer\UAS.cDa either under the control of Scer\GAL4Gr66a.1.8 or under the combined control of Scer\GAL4Gr89a.2 and gal80[ts], in order to restrict expression to adulthood.
