Odorant and pheromone receptors in insects

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2009
Since the emergence of the first living cells, survival has hinged on the ability to detect and localize chemicals in the environment. Modern animal species ranging from insects to mammals express large odorant receptor repertoires to detect the ...

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.

Red palm weevil olfactory proteins annotated from the rostrum provide insights into the essential role in chemosensation and chemoreception

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is rapidly infesting palm trees (Arecaceae) in several countries, threatening coconut, date, and oil cultivations.

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.

Conserved odorant-binding proteins from aphids and eavesdropping predators. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: The sesquiterpene (E)-ß-farnesene is the main component of the alarm pheromone system of various aphid species studied to date, including the English grain aphid, Sitobion avenae.

Pleiotropic fitness effects of a Drosophila odorant-binding protein

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2022
Insect odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are members of a rapidly evolving multigene family traditionally thought to facilitate chemosensation. However, studies on DrosophilaObp56hD.

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.

Interpopulational Variations of Odorant-Binding Protein Expression in the Black Cutworm Moth, Agrotis ipsilon

Insects, 2020
A long-range migrant species of moth (Agrotis ipsilon) has served as a model to compare the expression profiles of antennal proteins between different continental populations.
