Electrophysiological evidence for chemosensitivity to adenosine, adenine and sugars in Spodoptera exempta and related species.
Electrophysiological studies show that Spodoptera exempta and closely related species possess a receptor with specific sensitivity towards adenosine and adenine. 2 other types of receptors responded to certain sugars. The functional significance of these receptors in controlling chemoresponses of the larvae is discussed.
