An amino acid‐tuned gustatory receptor relatively abundant in the silkworm gut is crucial for growth and development
This study comprehensively analyzed the function of BmGr29 highly expressed in gut, a silkworm internal organ. The tuning between GRs and amino acids expanded our understanding about insect adaptations to plants, and provided perspectives to further research about feeding regulation mechanisms. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
