The whole body transcriptome of Coleophora obducta reveals important olfactory proteins [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background The tiny casebearer moth Coleophora obducta, an important defoliator of Larix spp., is a major threat to ecological security in north China. Studies have shown that C. obducta is strongly specific to host plants; it is unable complete its life

An Overview of Antennal Esterases in Lepidoptera
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Lepidoptera are used as a model for the study of insect olfactory proteins. Among them, odorant degrading enzymes (ODEs), that degrade odorant molecules to maintain the sensitivity of antennae, have received less attention.

Neofunctionalization of “Juvenile Hormone Esterase Duplication” in Drosophila as an odorant-degrading enzyme towards food odorants [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractOdorant degrading enzymes (ODEs) are thought to be responsible, at least in part, for olfactory signal termination in the chemosensory system by rapid degradation of odorants in the vicinity of the receptors. A carboxylesterase, specifically expressed in Drosophila antennae, called “juvenile hormone esterase duplication (JHEdup)” has been ...

Characterization of an antennal carboxylesterase from the pest moth Spodoptera littoralis degrading a host plant odorant. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Carboxyl/cholinesterases (CCEs) are highly diversified in insects. These enzymes have a broad range of proposed functions, in neuro/developmental processes, dietary detoxification, insecticide resistance or hormone/pheromone degradation.

Identification and characterization of an antennae-specific aldehyde oxidase from the navel orangeworm. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Antennae-specific odorant-degrading enzymes (ODEs) are postulated to inactivate odorant molecules after they convey their signal. Different classes of insect ODEs are specific to esters, alcohols, and aldehydes--the major functional groups of female ...

Identification of candidate odorant receptors in Asian corn borer Ostrinia furnacalis.
PLoS ONE, 2015 In lepidopteran insects, odorant receptors are involved in the perception of sex pheromones and general odorants. In the Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis, although several pheromone receptors have been identified, no general odorant receptor has ...

Antennal and Abdominal Transcriptomes Reveal Chemosensory Genes in the Asian Citrus Psyllid, Diaphorina citri. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri is the principal vector of the highly destructive citrus disease called Huanglongbing (HLB) or citrus greening, which is a major threat to citrus cultivation worldwide.

Scientific Reports, 2017 Perception of environmental and habitat cues is of significance for insect survival and reproduction. Odor detection in insects is mediated by a number of proteins in antennae such as odorant receptors (ORs), ionotropic receptors (IRs), odorant binding ...
