Cross Talk between Chemosensory Pathways That Modulate Chemotaxis and Biofilm Formation
mBio, 2019 Complex chemosensory systems control multiple biological functions in bacteria, such as chemotaxis, gene regulation, and cell cycle progression. Many species contain more than one chemosensory system per genome, but little is known about their potential ...

Identification of chemosensory genes from the antennal transcriptome of Semiothisa cinerearia
PLOS ONE, 2020 Olfaction plays vital roles in the survival and reproduction of insects. The completion of olfactory recognition requires the participation of various complex protein families. However, little is known about the olfactory-related proteins in Semiothisa cinerearia Bremer et Grey, an important pest of Chinese scholar tree. In this study, we sequenced the
