A Chemosensory Protein BtabCSP11 Mediates Reproduction in Bemisia tabaci [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 The olfactory system serves a vital role in the evolution and survival of insects, being involved in behaviors such as host seeking, foraging, mating, and oviposition. Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) and chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are involved in the olfactory recognition process.

Diversity of Odorant-binding Proteins and Chemosensory Proteins in Insects [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 2005 Odour and pheromone perception occurs through a complex series of events, many aspects of which have been elucidated in the most recent years. The discovery of membrane-bound olfactory receptors, both in vertebrates and in insects, and their functional expression in heterologous systems have shown that they can be directly activated by odorant and ...

Ligand-Binding Study of Anopheles gambiae Chemosensory Proteins [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 2013 Chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are a class of small proteins expressed only in arthropods and endowed with heterogeneous functions. Some of them are involved in chemical communications, others in development or other physiological roles. The numbers of CSPs in different species of insects range from 4 in Drosophila to at least 70 in locusts, whereas in ...

Conserved orthology in termite chemosensory gene families
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Termites are eusocial insects known to use a variety of pheromones in tasks necessary for maintenance of their societies. As such, olfaction and pheromone communication in termites has been an object of intense study; trail-following pheromones (TFPs ...

Rapid evolution of chemosensory receptor genes in a pair of sibling species of orchid bees (Apidae: Euglossini). [PDF]
, 2015 BackgroundInsects rely more on chemical signals (semiochemicals) than on any other sensory modality to find, identify, and choose mates. In most insects, pheromone production is typically regulated through biosynthetic pathways, whereas pheromone sensory

Complex evolutionary dynamics of massively expanded chemosensory receptor families in an extreme generalist chelicerate herbivore [PDF]
, 2016 While mechanisms to detoxify plant produced, anti-herbivore compounds have been associated with plant host use by herbivores, less is known about the role of chemosensory perception in their life histories.
