Transcriptome analysis and identification of chemosensory genes in the larvae of Plagiodera versicolora

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background In insects, the chemosensory system is crucial in guiding their behaviors for survival. Plagiodera versicolora (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is a worldwide leaf-eating forest pest in salicaceous trees.

An Olfactory Receptor Pseudogene whose Function emerged in Humans [PDF]

, 2007
Human olfactory receptor, hOR17-210, is identified as a pseudogene in the human genome. Experimental data has shown however, that the gene product of cloned hOR17-210 cDNA was able to bind an odorant-binding protein and is narrowly tuned for excitation ...

Gene content evolution in the arthropods [PDF]

, 2020
Arthropods comprise the largest and most diverse phylum on Earth and play vital roles in nearly every ecosystem. Their diversity stems in part from variations on a conserved body plan, resulting from and recorded in adaptive changes in the genome ...

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 ...

Molecular Structures and Biochemical Physiology of the Proteins Involved in Chemical Communications in Some Insect Species [PDF]

Türk Biyokimya Dergisi, 2006
The olfactory systems of terrestial animals are designed to trap and sample volatile hydrophobic molecules. Some of these molecules are odorants, such as volatile plant compounds and pheromonesemitted from the other organisms.
