Involvement of three chemosensory proteins in perception of host plant volatiles in the tea green leafhopper, Empoasca onukii [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Chemosensory proteins (CSPs) can bind and transport odorant molecules, which are believed to be involved in insect chemoreception. Here, we investigated three CSPs in perception of volatiles in Empoasca onukii.

Foliage Intensity is an Important Cue of Habitat Location for Empoasca onukii [PDF]
Insects, 2020 For many herbivorous insects, vision is more important than olfaction in the prealighting stage of host habitat location. Tea leafhoppers, Empoasca onukii (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae), are serious pests that preferentially inhabit the tender leaves of tea ...
