The Odorant-Binding Protein Gene obp11 Shows Different Spatiotemporal Roles in the Olfactory System of Apis mellifera ligustica and Apis cerana cerana

Sociobiology, 2013
Odorant-binding proteins participate in the olfactory system of the honeybee. Apis mellifera ligustica and Apis cerana cerana are species of honeybee that have different biologic functions.

Molecular recognition of an odorant by the murine trace amine-associated receptor TAAR7f

Nature Communications
There are two main families of G protein-coupled receptors that detect odours in humans, the odorant receptors (ORs) and the trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs).

Discrimination of Oviposition Deterrent Volatile β-Ionone by Odorant-Binding Proteins 1 and 4 in the Whitefly Bemisia tabaci

Biomolecules, 2019
: The whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, is an important invasive economic pest of agricultural crops worldwide. β-ionone has a significant oviposition repellent effect against B. tabaci, but the olfactory molecular mechanism of this insect for recognizing &#

Isoprene‐Emitting Transgenic Tobacco Shapes Root Microbiome and Enhances Growth of Co‐Cultivated Non‐Emitting Plants

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isoprene is the most abundant biogenic volatile organic compound emitted by terrestrial vegetation. Here we report the impact of isoprene on root‐associated microbiomes. Using isoprene‐emitting (IE) transgenic tobacco and isogenic non‐emitting (NE) controls, we performed co‐cultivation experiments in natural soil and analysed plant phenotypes ...

Can trigeminal sensations impact saltiness perception? A mini‐review

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 13, Page 7540-7546, October 2026.
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).

Diving Deeper Into Mechanisms of Acrylamide‐Induced Toxicity: RNA Sequencing Reveals Transcriptomic Alteration and Retrotransposon Expression in Drosophila melanogaster

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 10, Page 1105-1118, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Given the inevitability of human and animal exposure to acrylamide, there is increasing concern regarding its potential health risks. While a number of molecular mechanisms have been proposed, the complexity of acrylamide toxicological pathways and interactions remains incompletely characterized.

Are Odorant-binding Proteins Involved in Odorant Discrimination? [PDF]

Chemical Senses, 1996
Pheromone-sensitive sensilla trichodea of nine moth species belonging to six families and three superfamilies of Lepidoptera were immunolabelled with an antiserum against the pheromone-binding protein of Antheraea polyphemus. Strong immunolabelling of the sensillum lymph was observed in all long sensilla trichodea of A. polyphemus, A.
