Evolution of the odorant-binding protein gene family in Drosophila
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are encoded by a gene family involved in the perception of olfactory signals in insects. This chemosensory gene family has been advocated as a candidate to mediate host preference and host shifts in insects, although it ...

Characterization and Functional Analysis of OcomOBP7 in Ophraella communa Lesage
Insects, 2023 The olfactory system plays a key role in various insect behaviors, and odorant-binding proteins participate in the first step of the olfactory process. Ophraella communa Lesage is an oligophagous phytophagous insect that is a specific biological control ...

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.

Organization and function of Drosophila odorant binding proteins
eLife, 2016 Odorant binding proteins (Obps) are remarkable in their number, diversity, and abundance, yet their role in olfactory coding remains unclear. They are widely believed to be required for transporting hydrophobic odorants through an aqueous lymph to ...

Perception‐transduction‐transmission separation bionic H2S sensor
InfoScience, EarlyView.The modular separation of biological olfactory systems boasts unparalleled efficiency in olfactory recognition. Introducing this perception‐transduction‐transmission separation design into chemiresistive gas sensors (bionic olfactory sensing) based on the heterojunction rectification effect overcomes the inherent limitations of traditional sensor ...
