Molecular basis of quinine‐induced feeding suppression in <scp> <i>Hyphantria cunea</i> </scp> larvae

Our findings reveal key components of the bitter taste signaling in H. cunea and shed light on how this pest species discriminates against unpalatable food sources at the molecular level, thereby offering useful insights into bitter taste perception in lepidopterans and suggesting possible avenues for future pest management research. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
