Putative ligand binding sites of two functionally characterized bark beetle odorant receptors
, 2021 Background: Bark beetles are major pests of conifer forests, and their behavior is primarily mediated via olfaction. Targeting the odorant receptors (ORs) may thus provide avenues towards improved pest control.
