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 &#

Comparative Analysis Reveals the Adaptive Evolution of Olfactory System in the Swamp Eel (Monopterus albus) Based on the Chromosome‐Level Genome

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
A total of 629 gene families were identified to expand in the swamp eel, with five (OLFR, GNAL, PRKG1, NCALD, and PDE1) distributed in olfactory transduction (KEGG map04740). A total of 318 OR genes (289 functional genes, 10 partial genes, and 19 pseudogenes) were annotated in the swamp eel genome, significantly surpassing other fish species.

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).

Transition From Land to Sea: Comparative Genomics Illuminates the Adaptive Evolution of the Intertidal Spider

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 4, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Spiders are renowned for their ecological versatility and silk‐based innovations in materials science, yet marine environments remain virtually uncolonized by this predominantly terrestrial lineage. A striking exception is the obligate intertidal spider genus Desis, whose members have evolved extraordinary physiological and behavioural ...

Synthetic blends of volatile, phytopathogen-induced odorants can be used to manipulate vector behavior [PDF]

, 2014
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted from all plants and these VOCs are important means of communication between plants and insects. It has been documented that pathogen infections alter VOC profiles rendering infected plants more attractive to ...
