Identification and Functional Characterization of the Leg-Enriched Chemosensory Protein PxylCSP9 in Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)

Biology
Plutella xylostella, a major pest of cruciferous vegetables, depends predominantly on chemoreception to locate host plants. Legs are crucial in insect chemical perception, particularly during close-range and contact chemoreception. However, the molecular

A carboxylesterase, Esterase-6, modulates sensory physiological and behavioral response dynamics to pheromone in Drosophila [PDF]

, 2012
Conclusions: Our study presents evidence that Est-6 plays a role in the physiological and behavioral dynamics of sex pheromone response in Drosophila males and supports a role of Est-6 as an odorant-degrading enzyme (ODE) in male antennae.

Protein-RNA interactions: a structural analysis [PDF]

, 2001
A detailed computational analysis of 32 protein-RNA complexes is presented. A number of physical and chemical properties of the intermolecular interfaces are calculated and compared with those observed in protein-double-stranded DNA and protein-single ...

"Plus-C" odorant-binding protein genes in two Drosophila species and the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae

, 2004
Olfaction plays a crucial role in many aspects of insect behaviour, including host selection by agricultural pests and vectors of human disease. Insect odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to function as the first step in molecular recognition and

Nematicidal action of Clonostachys rosea against Meloidogyne incognita: in-vitro and in-silico analyses

Journal of Taibah University for Science
Clonostachys rosea is a biocontrol agent against a wide range of pests and diseases. In the present study, an in-vitro nematicidal activity of C. rosea has been documented by observing the behavioural response of Meloidogyne incognita (Mi) towards the ...

Functional Evolution of Odorant Binding Proteins Genes in Drosophila melanogaster

, 2009
Adaptive evolution of animals depends on behaviors that are essential for their survival and reproduction. Adaptive evolution has resulted in diverse chemoreceptor families, in which polymorphisms contribute to individual variation in chemosensation ...
