Abstract: Insects have a highly developed sense of smell — some can detect pheromones several miles away. But relatively little is known about how they do this. Now, two groups have identified a number of candidate odorant-receptor genes in the fruitfly. These genes encode membrane receptor proteins that probably mediate recognition of odorants in the fly.
