Figure 7. Proposed model for loss of noni taste aversion in D. sechellia.

Figure 7.

Diagram summarizing proposed cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying observed differences in gustatory aversion to noni FAs between generalist drosophilids and D. sechellia. The action of noni FAs in mixtures with sucrose is depicted for Gr64f GRNs; not included here is the activation of Gr64f neurons with pure FAs. Molecular pathways that are predicted to have loss of function variants in D. sechellia are indicated in the gray bubbles. Noni FAs is used as a generic term; HA, hexanoic acid; OA, octanoic acid; DA, decanoic acid.
