The Peripheral Olfactory Repertoire of the Lightbrown Apple Moth, Epiphyas postvittana.

PLoS ONE, 2015
The lightbrown apple moth, Epiphyas postvittana is an increasingly global pest of horticultural crops. Like other moths, E. postvittana relies on olfactory cues to locate mates and oviposition sites.

The mouthparts enriched odorant binding protein 11 of the alfalfa plant bug Adelphocoris lineolatus displays a preferential binding behaviour to host plant secondary metabolites

Frontiers in Physiology, 2016
Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) are proposed to be directly required for odorant discrimination and represent potential interesting targets for pest control.

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 β-ionone

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.

Characterization of odorant binding and chemosensory protein families in the kissing bug Triatoma infestans: comparative analysis among Heteroptera species.

BMC Genomics
Background Plasticity in sensory perception and tolerance to xenobiotics contributes to insects’ adaptive capacity and evolutionary success, by enabling them to cope with potentially toxic molecules from the environment or internal milieu.

Molecular analysis of an odorant-binding protein gene in two sympatric species of Lutzomyia longipalpis s.l.

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2013
Lutzomyia longipalpis s.l. is the main vector of American visceral leishmaniasis (AVL) and occurs as a species complex. DNA samples from two Brazilian sympatric species that differ in pheromone and courtship song production were used to analyse molecular

GOBP1 Plays a Key Role in Sex Pheromones and Plant Volatiles Recognition in Yellow Peach Moth, Conogethes punctiferalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)

Insects, 2019
Insects recognize odorous compounds using sensory neurons organized in olfactory sensilla. The process odor detection in insects requires an ensemble of proteins, including odorant binding proteins, olfactory receptors, and odor degrading enzymes; each ...
