Kitamoto J, Sakamoto K, Ozaki K, Mishina Y, Arikawa K Two visual pigments in a single photoreceptor cell: identification and histological localization of three mRNAs encoding visual pigment opsins in the retina of the butterfly Papilio xuthus. J Exp Biol. 201:1998;1255-1261. Demonstrates the co-expression of two opsin genes in one photoreceptor cell in Papilio. This points to the fact that different opsins with different wavelengths of absoption might not only be used for color vision but also for broadening the spectrum of absorption of rod-like photoreceptors.

Vision Res. 39:1999;1-8. The authors describe an important similarity between the organization of the butterfly and fly retina: the utilization of sensitizing and/or filtering pigments to tune the sensitivity of the opsins. This study provides a very good example of retinal regionalization of opsin/pigment expression.

Development. 126:1999;607-616. The authors present evidence supporting the existence of a coordinated system of opsin expression in flies, and propose a probable model to describe how the inner photoreceptor cells 'make the choice' to express a given opsin and to exclude the others.

Together with [50], this work provides a very interesting concept, that the olfactory receptor molecules are involved in axon path-finding. This could be a starting point to explain how the brain cell knows to which type of sensory cell they are connected.
