Differential Expression Analysis of Chemoreception Genes in the Striped Flea Beetle Phyllotreta striolata Using a Transcriptomic Approach. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Olfactory transduction is a process by which olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) transform odor information into neuronal electrical signals. This process begins with the binding of odor molecules to receptor proteins on olfactory receptor neuron (ORN ...

Molecular Characterization of Three Chemosensory Proteins from Carposina sasakii

Agriculture, 2023
The peach fruit moth, Carposina sasakii, is part of the Carposinidae, and is harmful to the families Rosaceae and Rhamnaceae. C. sasakii lays eggs on the hairy surface of the fruit’s stalk cavity and calyx end. After hatching, the moth can bore into the fruits and feed on the flesh inside.

Discovery of Chemosensory Genes in the Oriental Fruit Fly, Bactrocera dorsalis.

PLoS ONE, 2015
The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis, is a devastating fruit fly pest in tropical and sub-tropical countries. Like other insects, this fly uses its chemosensory system to efficiently interact with its environment. However, our understanding of the

Protective Effects of Potential Probiotic Pediococcus acidilactici 100 Against Multi‐Drug‐Resistant Diarrheal Escherichia coli Strains Induced Changes in Caenorhabditis elegans Model System

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
This study shows the protective effects of potential probiotic strain of Pediococci strains against diarrheal Escherichia coli strains in Caenorhabditis elegans model system. The E. coli strains resulted in severe morphological and physiological damage to the worm whereas the probiotic interventions were able to reduce these damages.

Identification and Expression Profiling of Chemosensory Genes in Dendrolimus punctatus Walker

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Dendrolimus punctatus Walker is a serious pest affecting conifers in southern China. As extensive pesticide spraying is currently required to control D. punctatus, new control strategies are urgently needed.

Can trigeminal sensations impact saltiness perception? A mini‐review

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Many food companies have begun to reduce the salt content in their products due to health concerns; however, this reduction in salt content can affect the food's sensory appeal and flavour complexity. Flavour is defined as a combination of odour (i.e., smell), taste (i.e., gustation) and trigeminal sensations (i.e., chemesthesis).

High‐throughput transcriptome mining and in silico screening reveal saccharide feeding stimulants for Cydia pomonella larvae

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
We identified and characterized the gustatory and ionotropic receptors of Cydia pomonella using transcriptomics and in silico approaches, linking candidate sugar receptors to larval feeding attraction. Functional assays and behavioral tests highlighted isoquercitrin as a key feeding stimulant, providing a foundation for olfactory‐ and taste‐based pest ...

Characterization of chemosensory genes in the subterranean pest Gryllotalpa Orientalis based on genome assembly and transcriptome comparison

BMC Genomics
Background Chemosensory perception plays a vital role in insect survival and adaptability, driving essential behaviours such as navigation, mate identification, and food location.

A comparison of the olfactory gene repertoires of adults and larvae in the noctuid moth Spodoptera littoralis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
To better understand the olfactory mechanisms in a lepidopteran pest model species, the cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis, we have recently established a partial transcriptome from adult antennae.

G Protein–Coupled Receptors in Olfactory Signaling and Related Disorders: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications

Sensory Neuroscience, EarlyView.
This schematic highlights GPCRs as the central hub of olfactory signaling in health and disease. The central GPCR shows odorant activation and downstream pathways. Surrounding quadrants illustrate four GPCR‐mediated themes: odor perception and adaptation, mucosal immunity and regeneration, memory consolidation via neural circuits, and GPCR‐related ...
