This project investigates the olfactory mechanisms that the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii uses to select host fruits for laying eggs. By comparing its olfactory receptors with those of non-pest species, the research aims to uncover the genetic basis of its unique behaviors.
The spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, is an invasive polyphagous pest endemic to South East Asia.
It has recently invaded western countries where it has become a threatening pest for cultivated small fruits.
Unlike most others Drosophila species, whose larvae feed on decaying plant, D. suzukii lays its egg on unwounded ripening fruits.
Host selection arises from oviposition behaviours of adult females, which detect chemosensory inputs, in the form of plant airborne kairomones, to loca…
