Figure 2. Dose–response to sucrose and inositol recorded from the lateral maxillary styloconic sensillum.

Sensory response of the sucrose-best (A) and inositol-specific (B) taste cells in the lateral styloconic sensillum on the maxillary galea to different concentrations of sucrose and myo-inositol in the polyphagous silkworm Sawa-J·lem (•), normal silkworm Daiankyo (○), and their F₁ progeny (△). The response was quantified by the number of spikes generated 0.05–1.05 s after the onset of stimulation. Values are shown as the average of three to six different larvae and the standard error. According to the result of Tukey’s HSD test (α = 0.05), no statistical significance was found in the values among the two parent strains and their F₁ progeny.
