Uncovering the functional constraints underlying the genomic organisation of the Odorant-Binding Protein genes [PDF]

, 2014
Animal olfactory systems have a critical role for the survival and reproduction of individuals. In insects, the odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are encoded by a moderately sized gene family, and mediate the first steps of the olfactory processing.

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.

Odorant Inhibition in Mosquito Olfaction. [PDF]

, 2019
How chemical signals are integrated at the peripheral sensory system of insects is still an enigma. Here we show that when coexpressed with Orco in Xenopus oocytes, an odorant receptor from the southern house mosquito, CquiOR32, generated inward (regular)

Specialized odorant receptors in social insects that detect cuticular hydrocarbon cues and candidate pheromones. [PDF]

, 2017
Eusocial insects use cuticular hydrocarbons as components of pheromones that mediate social behaviours, such as caste and nestmate recognition, and regulation of reproduction.

Y Not a Dead End: Epistatic Interactions Between Y-Linked Regulatory Polymorphisms and Genetic Background Affect Global Gene Expression in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]

, 2013
The Y chromosome, inherited without meiotic recombination from father to son, carries relatively few genes in most species. This is consistent with predictions from evolutionary theory that nonrecombining chromosomes lack variation and degenerate rapidly.

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.

The Olfactory Nervous System Of Terrestrial And Aquatic Vertebrates [PDF]

, 2011
Animals in their natural milieu are surrounded by odors. These odors are rich source of information, and are perceived by sophisticated olfactory systems, that have evolved over time.

Complex evolutionary dynamics of massively expanded chemosensory receptor families in an extreme generalist chelicerate herbivore [PDF]

, 2016
While mechanisms to detoxify plant produced, anti-herbivore compounds have been associated with plant host use by herbivores, less is known about the role of chemosensory perception in their life histories.

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.
