DOI: 10.1002/ps.8783
Abstract: Gustatory organs are distributed throughout the insect body, including mouthpart, tarsi, and gut. The highly differentiated gustatory receptors (GRs) expressed in these organs are used to perceive diverse phytochemicals, enabling the identification of feeding stimulants… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ibmb.2021.103567
Abstract: Insect pests consume tastants as their necessary energy and nutrient sources. Gustatory receptors play important roles in insect life and can form within an extremely complicated regulatory network. However, there are still many gustatory genes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2022.12.13.519744
Abstract: Insect Odorant receptors and Gustatory receptors define a superfamily of seven-transmembrane domain ligand-gated ion channels (termed here 7TMICs), with homologs identified across Animalia except Chordata. Previously, we used sequence-based screening methods to reveal conservation of… read more here.

DOI: 10.14348/molcells.2017.0028
Abstract: Regulation of feeding is essential for animal survival. The pharyngeal sense organs can act as a second checkpoint of food quality, due to their position between external taste organs such as the labellum which initially… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects10090272
Abstract: Gustatory receptors (GRs) are crucial in the peripheral coding of the non-volatile compounds in insects, and thus play important roles in multiple behaviors including feeding, mating, and oviposition. However, little research has been done on… read more here.
