  • CHEMOSENSORY GENE FAMILY ENCODING GUSTATORY AND OLFACTORY RECEPTORS AND USES THEREOF
    Publication number: 20110201051
    Abstract: This invention provides an isolated nucleic acid encoding an insect gustatory or odorant receptor. This invention provides a nucleic acid of at least 12 nucleotides capable of specifically hybridizing with a nucleic acid encoding an insect gustatory or odorant receptor. This invention also provides a purified, insect gustatory or odorant receptor. This invention provides an antibody capable of specifically binding to an insect gustatory or odorant receptor. This invention provides a method of identifying a compound capable of specifically binding to, activating, or inhibiting the activity of an insect gustatory or odorant receptor. This invention also provides methods of controlling insect populations.
