G o signaling is required for normal EAG responses to diverse odorants. (A) EAG responses evoked by four different concentrations of ethyl acetate (EA) in Gal80ts20/Or83b-Gal4; UAS-PTX/+ flies are significantly (p < 0.0001) higher in the absence of PTX expression (18°C) than in the presence of PTX expression (32°C). (B) EAG responses evoked by a 10-4 concentration of ethyl acetate (EA), a 10-4 concentration of isoamyl acetate (IAA), a 10-4 concentration of cyclohexanone (CH), a 10-4 concentration of 4-methylcylcohexanol (MCH), and a 10-3 concentration n-butanol (BUT) in Gal80ts20/Or83b-Gal4; UAS-PTX/+ flies are significantly (p < 0.0001) higher in the absence of PTX expression (18°C) than in the presence of PTX expression (32°C). For a given genotype, odor concentration, and temperature, at least 8 EAG recordings from minimum 4 flies were analyzed. Asterisks denote a significant (p < 0.05) change. All values are mean ± S.E.M.
