Transcriptome pyrosequencing of the parasitoid wasp Cotesia vestalis: genes involved in the antennal odorant-sensory system. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Cotesia vestalis is an endoparasitic wasp that attacks larvae of the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella), a herbivore of cruciferous plants. Females of C. vestalis use herbivore-induced plant odorants released from plants infested by P.

Identification of Candidate Carboxylesterases Associated With Odorant Degradation in Holotrichia parallela Antennae Based on Transcriptome Analysis

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Insects rely on their olfactory systems in antennae to recognize sex pheromones and plant volatiles in surrounding environments. Some carboxylesterases (CXEs) are odorant-degrading enzymes (ODEs), degrading odorant signals to protect the olfactory ...

Specialized odorant receptors in social insects that detect cuticular hydrocarbon cues and candidate pheromones. [PDF]

, 2017
Eusocial insects use cuticular hydrocarbons as components of pheromones that mediate social behaviours, such as caste and nestmate recognition, and regulation of reproduction.

Expression pattern analysis of odorant-binding proteins in the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum [PDF]

, 2015
Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are soluble proteins mediating chemoreception in insects. In previous research, we investigated the molecular mechanisms adopted by aphids to detect the alarm pheromone (E)-\u3b2-farnesene and we found that the recognition

Identification and Expression Profiling of Chemosensory Genes in Hermetia illucens via a Transcriptomic Analysis

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
The black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens, is a cosmopolitan insect of the family Stratiomyidae (Diptera). Chemosensory genes encode proteins involved directly in the detection of odorants.
