Odorant degrading enzyme candidates enriched in the antennae of the white-spotted flower chafer, Protaetia brevitarsis [PDF]
Frontiers in Insect ScienceThe white-spotted flower chafer (Protaetia brevitarsis) exhibits a preference for feeding on mature fruits of various crops, making it a significant agricultural pest. Pesticide application often results in fruit residues and environmental contamination,

Dynamic Roles of Insect Carboxyl/Cholinesterases in Chemical Adaptation [PDF]
Insects, 2023 Insects have evolved several intricate defense mechanisms to adapt to their chemical environment. Due to their versatile capabilities in hydrolytic biotransformation, insect carboxyl/cholinesterases (CCEs) play vital roles in the development of pesticide

Transcriptomic analysis of male diamondback moth antennae: Response to female semiochemicals and allyl isothiocyanate. [PDF]
PLoS ONEFemale semiochemicals and allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) attract moths, and the moths use odorant-degrading enzymes (ODEs) to break down the excess odor.

Differential gene expression patterns between the head and thorax of Gynaephora aureata are associated with high-altitude adaptation [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2023 Grassland caterpillars (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Gynaephora) are important pests in alpine meadows of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP). These pests have morphological, behavioral, and genetic adaptations for survival in high-altitude environments. However,

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.

Putative carboxylesterase gene identification and their expression patterns in Hyphantria cunea (Drury) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The olfactory system of insects is important for behavioral activities as it recognizes internal and external volatile stimuli in the environment. Insect odorant degrading enzymes (ODEs), including antennal-specific carboxylesterases (CXEs), are known to

Molecular basis for the behavioral effects of the odorant degrading enzyme Esterase 6 in Drosophila [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractPrevious electrophysiological and behavioural studies implicate esterase 6 in the processing of the pheromone cis-vaccenyl acetate and various food odorants that affect aggregation and reproductive behaviours. Here we show esterase 6 has relatively high activity against many of the short-mid chain food esters, but negligible activity against ...
