Abstract Honeybees rely on nectar as their main source of carbohydrates. Sucrose, glucose, and fructose are the components plant nectars. Intriguingly, honeybees express only 3 putative sugar receptors (AmGr1, AmGr2, AmGr3), which is in stark contrast to many other insects vertebrates. The partially characterized. AmGr1 detects different sugars including sucrose glucose. AmGr2 assumed act a co-receptor only, while AmGr3 assumedly receptor. We show that honeybee gustatory receptor highly...
Honeybees (Apis mellifera) need their fine sense of taste to evaluate nectar and pollen sources. Gustatory receptors (Grs) translate signals into electrical responses. In vivo experiments have demonstrated collective responses the whole Gr-set. We here disentangle contributions all three honeybee sugar (AmGr1-3), combining CRISPR/Cas9 mediated genetic knock-out, electrophysiology behaviour. show an expanded spectrum AmGr1 receptor. Mutants lacking a reduced response sucrose glucose but not...

Abstract Honeybees ( Apis mellifera ) need their fine sense of taste to evaluate nectar and pollen sources. Gustatory receptors (Grs) translate signals into electrical responses. In vivo experiments primarily demonstrate collective responses the whole Gr-set, but little is known about individual impact receptors. Here, we disentangle for first time contributions three gustatory (AmGr1-3) in sugar sensing honeybees by combining CRISPR/Cas9 mediated genetic knock-out, electrophysiology...
