Fig. 5
Ca2+ responses of female ordinary glomeruli to each single plant odorant (10 μg) mixed with DMNT (0.1–1.0 μg). a. β-myrcene, b. (R)-(+)-limonene, c. ocimene, d. (Z)-(3)-hexenyl acetate, e. nonanal. DMNT significantly suppressed the Ca2+ response to (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate responding glomeruli except for glomerulus 3. Responses to other odorants were not suppressed by DMNT. Bars represent the mean values of maximum relative Ca2+ response (+SE) of each identified glomeruli. Different letters denote significantly different calcium responses within odorants and glomeruli (lme, P < 0.05, n = 13)
