This project focuses on understanding how taste receptors influence host plant selection in the poplar leaf beetle, a significant pest. By identifying and characterizing gustatory receptors, the research aims to reveal mechanisms of feeding behavior and inform sustainable pest management strategies.
The sense of taste enables an animal to decide what it eats and drinks.
Insects are able to discriminate among soluble chemicals via their gustatory receptors (GRs) in order to accept or reject a certain food plant or initiate mating and oviposition.
Despite their essential role in the insect’s overall food intake, survival and reproductive success, relatively little is known about insect GRs, especially in beetles.
This is surprising given their importance as agricultural and forestry pests, th…
