Figure 2

Antennal responses of males to cis -vaccenyl acetate (cVA) and heptanone. (A) Average electroantennography (EAG) plots from wild-type (CS, in black), null mutant (Est-6°, in red) and rescue (Rescue, in grey) strains during a 5-s stimulation with cVA. The horizontal bar indicates the duration of stimulus delivery. (B) Percentage of repolarization from the same genotypes calculated at the end of a 5-s stimulation with cVA. Mean ± SEM; N ≥ 10 for each genotype and test. (C) Average EAG plots from CS, Est-6° and Rescue male flies during a 5-s stimulation with heptanone. (D) Percentage of repolarization from the same genotypes calculated at the end of a 5-s stimulation with heptanone. Mean ± SEM; N = 13 for each test. Student's t test, *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
