| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For development of new insect feeding behavior-regulators, we performed cloning and identification of silkworm biogenic amine receptors and screening of ligands that can regulate the feeding behavior. As the result of cloning, fourteen genes for the amine receptors were isolated. Among them, nine receptors were characterized functionally. Ligand screening revealed that the dopamine receptor BmDopR2 antagonists effectively regulated silkworm feeding behavior.
