Abstract:		"The characterization of receptors for sex pheromones provides important clues for understanding the mechanisms controlling animal mating and reproduction. In this issue, Wan et al 1 identify a putative sex pheromone receptor, the G protein-coupled receptor SRD-1, acting in a single Caenorhabditis elegans olfactory neuron class, called AWA, to mediate male attraction to volatile sex pheromones. Like in other systems, C. elegans sex pheromone elicits sex-specific responses even though sex pheromone activates sensory neurons of both sexes"
