Gustatory Receptors Required for Avoiding the Toxic Compound Coumarin in Drosophila melanogaster
Coumarin is a phenolic compound that mainly affects the liver due to its metabolization into a toxic compound. The deterrent and ovicidal activities of coumarin in insect models such as Drosophila melanogaster have been reported. Here we explore the molecular mechanisms by which these insects protec...
