OBP56H MODULATES MATING BEHAVIOR IN DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER

Obp56h Modulates Mating Behavior in Drosophila melanogaster

Social interactions in insects are driven by conspecific chemical signals that are detected via olfactory and gustatory neurons.Odorant binding proteins (Obps) transport volatile odorants to chemosensory receptors, but their effects on behaviors remain poorly characterized.Here, we report that RNAi knockdown of Obp56h gene expression in Drosophila
