In situ hybridization analysis of trpA1, op1, op2 and orco mRNAs at the female antennal tip (13th flagellomere). a, Probing for trpA1 mRNA in the wild-type control and the trpA11 mutant. b, Probing for op1 mRNA in the wild-type control and the op12 mutant. c, Probing for op2 mRNA in the wild-type control and the op21 mutant. For a–c, n ≥ 5. d–g, Double in situ hybridizations in wild-type antennae. Co-localizations of the signals are shown in white in the merged subpanels. d, In situ hybridization analysis of trpA1 (green) and op1 (magenta). e, In situ hybridization analysis of trpA1 (green) and op2 (magenta). f, In situ hybridization analysis of op1 (green) and op2 (magenta). g, In situ hybridization analysis of trpA1 (green) and orco (magenta). For d–g, n = 3. Scale bars, 20 μm (full views) and 5 μm (insets).
