A pleiotropic chemoreceptor facilitates the production and perception of mating pheromones by Cassondra L. Vernier, Nicole Leitner, Kathleen M. Zelle, Merrin Foltz, Sophia Dutton, Xitong Liang, Sean Halloran, Jocelyn G. Millar, Yehuda Ben-Shahar

“…Specifically, through behavioral and pheromonal data, we found that Gr8a independently regulates the behavioral responses of males and females to a putative inhibitory pheromone, as well as its production in the fat body and oenocytes of males. …”

Robust spatial sensing of mating pheromone gradients by yeast cells. by Travis I Moore, Ching-Shan Chou, Qing Nie, Noo Li Jeon, Tau-Mu Yi

“…We tested the ability of S. cerevisiaea-cells to sense and respond to spatial gradients of the mating pheromone alpha-factor produced in a microfluidics chamber; the focus was on bar1Delta strains, which do not degrade the pheromone input. …”

A Predictive Model for Yeast Cell Polarization in Pheromone Gradients. by Nicolas Muller, Matthieu Piel, Vincent Calvez, Raphaël Voituriez, Joana Gonçalves-Sá, Chin-Lin Guo, Xingyu Jiang, Andrew Murray, Nicolas Meunier

“…Mating depends on the ability of cells to polarize up pheromone gradients, but cells also respond to spatially uniform fields of pheromone by polarizing along a single axis. …”

Drosophila melanogaster cloak their eggs with pheromones, which prevents cannibalism. by Sunitha Narasimha, Konstantin O Nagornov, Laure Menin, Antonio Mucciolo, Astrid Rohwedder, Bruno M Humbel, Martin Stevens, Andreas S Thum, Yury O Tsybin, Roshan K Vijendravarma

“…Finally, using light and electron microscopy, we demonstrate how maternal pheromones leak-proof the egg, consequently concealing it from conspecific larvae. …”

Pheromonal and behavioral cues trigger male-to-female aggression in Drosophila. by María de la Paz Fernández, Yick-Bun Chan, Joanne Y Yew, Jean-Christophe Billeter, Klaus Dreisewerd, Joel D Levine, Edward A Kravitz

“…To masculinize female pheromones, a transgene carrying dsRNA for the sex determination factor transformer (traIR) was targeted to the pheromone producing cells, the oenocytes. …”

Changes in odor background affect the locomotory response to pheromone in moths. by Virginie Party, Christophe Hanot, Daniela Schmidt Büsser, Didier Rochat, Michel Renou

“…We found that the addition of certain volatile plant compounds disturbed the orientation toward the sex pheromone. The effect on locomotion was correlated with the capacity of the plant compound to antagonize pheromone detection by olfactory receptor neurons, suggesting a masking effect of the background over the pheromone signal. …”

Competition-based model of pheromone component ratio detection in the moth. by Andrei Zavada, Christopher L Buckley, Dominique Martinez, Jean-Pierre Rospars, Thomas Nowotny

“…For some moth species, especially those closely interrelated and sympatric, recognizing a specific pheromone component concentration ratio is essential for males to successfully locate conspecific females. …”
