J. Gascuel et al., DEVELOPMENT OF THE INSECT OLFACTORY SYSTE M - CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR ASPECTS, Bulletin de la Societe zoologique de France, 120(3), 1995, pp. 257-267
In the present paper, are reported the avaible data dealing with the m
echanisms involved in the setting up of the insect olfactory system du
ring the metamorphosis. Mainly based on results gained with the honeyb
ee (Apis mellifera), and discussed in the light of data related to oth
er holometabolous insects, it is shown that both programmed and non pr
ogrammed factors are involved in the development of the adult olfactor
y system.
