When the nose must remain responsive: glutathione conjugation of the mammary pheromone in the newborn rabbit [PDF]
, 2014 In insects, xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes were demonstrated to regulate pheromones inactivation, clearing them from the olfactory periphery and keeping receptors ready for stimulation renewal.

Arabidopsis glucosinolates trigger a contrasting transcriptomic response in a generalist and a specialist herbivore. [PDF]
, 2017 Phytophagous insects have to deal with toxic defense compounds from their host plants. Although it is known that insects have evolved genes and mechanisms to detoxify plant allochemicals, how specialist and generalist precisely respond to specific ...

A carboxylesterase, Esterase-6, modulates sensory physiological and behavioral response dynamics to pheromone in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2012 Conclusions: Our study presents evidence that Est-6 plays a role in the physiological and behavioral dynamics of sex pheromone response in Drosophila males and supports a role of Est-6 as an odorant-degrading enzyme (ODE) in male antennae.

Characterization of a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase gene involved in the biosynthesis of geosmin in Penicillium expansum [PDF]
, 2012 Geosmin is a terpenoid, an earthy-smelling substance associated with off-flavors in water and wine. The biosynthesis of geosmin is well characterized in bacteria, but little is known about its production in eukaryotes, especially in filamentous fungi ...

The scent of death: A case study for volatile markers of decomposition on a concrete floor
Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released during human decomposition are chemically diverse and can provide forensic evidence indicating the prior presence of a corpse. In July 2023, the Michigan City Police Department received a report from an individual claiming to have murdered his roommate and stored the body in a basement cellar for 57 ...
