Figure 10.2 The A -P-ocimcne receptor neuron type in heliothine moths and the strawberry weevil. Gas chromatograms of a standard sample and simultaneously reeordcd neuron activity (spikes/s) of a receptor neuron of Heliothis virescens (left) and of Anthonomus rubi (right). Both neurons responded to dihydromyrcene, p-myrcene, Z-P- and -P-ocimene, The neuron of A. rubi also responded to the solvent and limonene. Below The molecular structures of odorants activating the -p-ocimene receptor neuron type in the strawberry weevil. The bracket indicates the molecular receptive range of the ii-p-oeimene receptor neuron type in H. virescem.
