Insights into structural features determining odorant affinities to honey bee odorant binding protein 14 [PDF]

, 2014
Molecular interactions between odorants and odorant binding proteins (OBPs) are of major importance for understanding the principles of selectivity of OBPs towards the wide range of semiochemicals.

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

"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

The antenna-specific odorant-binding protein AlinOBP13 of the alfalfa plant bug Adelphocoris lineolatus is expressed specifically in basiconic sensilla and has high binding affinity to terpenoids

, 2014
Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are crucial in the olfactory pathway of insects. In the present study, the antenna-enriched OBP AlinOBP13 was investigated because of its potential contribution to the peripheral olfactory perception in the alfalfa plant ...

Predicting olfactory receptor neuron responses from odorant structure

, 2007
Background Olfactory receptors work at the interface between the chemical world of volatile molecules and the perception of scent in the brain. Their main purpose is to translate chemical space into information that can be processed by neural circuits ...

An Odorant-Binding Protein as a New Allergen from Siberian Hamster <i>(Phodopus sungorus)</i>

, 2011
A case of anaphylaxis following a bite from a Siberian hamster (SH; <i>Phodopus sungorus</i>) is described. Skin prick tests with hair, urine and salivary gland extracts from SH were positive, while the tests were negative for hair extracts ...

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 ...
