THE rod and cone transducing are specific G proteins originally thought to be present only
in photoreceptor cells of the vertebrate retina 1–4 . Transducins convert light stimulation of …

Aphids respond to environmental changes by developing alternative phenotypes with
differing reproductive modes. Parthenogenetic reproduction occurs in spring and summer, …

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a neuroendocrine mediator found in the central and
peripheral nervous system. Distinct subsets of neural, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and immune …

Neuroanatomical evidence argues for the presence of taste sensilla in Drosophila wings;
however, the taste physiology of insect wings remains hypothetical, and a comprehensive link …

A singular adaptive phenotype of a parthenogenetic insect species (Acyrthosiphon pisum)
was selected in cold conditions and is characterized by a remarkable apparition of a greenish …

The performance of a task is often assumed to be a prerequisite for the learning of many tasks,
including the associative conditioning of courtship in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster…

In the vertebrate taste cell, heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide‐binding proteins (G proteins)
are involved in the transduction of both bitter and sweet taste stimulants. The bitter compound …

The aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum population is composed of different morphs, such as winged
and wingless parthenogens, males, and sexual females. The combined effect of reduced …

The phosphorylation of proteins affects their functions in extensively documented circumstances.
However, the role of phosphorylation in many interactive networks of proteins remains …

In the Drosophila wing anterior margin, the dendrites of gustatory neurons occupy the
interior of thin and long bristles that present tiny pores at their extremities. Many attempts to …
