| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We focused “elucidation of pheromone blend detection mechanism and construction of the detection model” and “the function of sub-cellular structures in chemosensory organs for the discrimination of incremental differences among multi-component odor signals” as priority areas of our research. As results, using a clear-winged moth that utilizes a pheromone blend of two components, we identified two pheromone receptors, each of which specifically responded to each component. We found that population ratio of receptor neurons specific to components in antenna are correlated with compositions ratio of the corresponding components in the moth. In ants, they discriminate nestmate and non-nestmate workers based on the incremental differences among multi-component odor signals. We found that the sub-cellular structures, which regulate inter-cellular connections of chemosensory neurons, have an important function in the discrimination of incremental differences of odor blends in the ants.
