| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study evaluated our hypothesis that the plant steroid hormone affects the behavior of insects by promoting formation of long-term memory. Our study have revealed that the plant steroid hormone functions as an external ligand for nuclear receptor in insects, and facilitates the formation of long-term memory by affecting on a part of neurons in the brain. Although further evaluation is necessary, our study provides novel evidence for a new concept of relationships between insects and plants.
