Identification of a receptor for the sex pheromone of the vine mealybug, Planococcus ficus

open access: yesCurrent Research in Insect Science
The vine mealybug, Planococcus ficus, is a significant pest of vineyards in all major grape growing regions of the world. This pest causes significant aesthetic damage to berry clusters through its feeding behavior and secretion of ''honeydew'', which ...

Nutritional quality traits in pea seed: Current knowledge and opportunities for genetic improvement

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 2, September 2026.
This comprehensive review on nutritional traits in pea (Pisum sativum L.) summarizes the literature on genetic improvement of this highly nutritious and environmentally sustainable crop for different end‐uses. Abstract Pea is a major pulse crop valued for its high protein, carbohydrate, and mineral content, as well as its agronomic role in sustainable ...

Mechanism of odorant adaptation in the olfactory receptor cell

open access: yes, 1997
Adaptation to odorants begins at the level of sensory receptor cells(1-5), presumably through modulation of their transduction machinery, The olfactory signal transduction involves the activation of the adenylyl cyclase/cyclic AMP second messenger system

Clogmia albipunctata Larvae Influence the Odour Dynamics of Rotting Organic Matter

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 1053-1062, September 2026.
Drain flies live in organic waste. We investigated how drain fly larvae influence the unpleasant smells produced by sewage sludge and rotting nettle. Although the perception of these smells did not change significantly according to the public, chemical analyses showed that sewage sludge with drain fly larvae yielded a different composition of odors ...

Odorant Receptor 7D4 Activation Dynamics

open access: yes, 2018
Deciphering how an odorant activates an odorant receptor (OR) and how changes in specific OR residues affect its responsiveness are central to understanding our sense of smell.

Fish Sperm Subpopulations Detection, Separation, and Application: Current State and Trends

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.
Modern advances in sperm biology highlight the necessity of recognising intra‐ejaculate heterogeneity as a central concept for advancing both the fundamental understanding of fertilisation processes and the development of artificial reproduction techniques in fishes. ABSTRACT Sperm subpopulations represent a fundamental manifestation of intra‐ejaculate

Odorant receptors make scents

open access: yes, 2004
The goal of making sense of the sense of smell has come a step closer. Work on fruitflies reveals that odorant receptors act as bidirectional chemical detectors and determine the function of sensory neurons.

Functional Evolution of Odorant Binding Proteins Genes in Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yes, 2009
Adaptive evolution of animals depends on behaviors that are essential for their survival and reproduction. Adaptive evolution has resulted in diverse chemoreceptor families, in which polymorphisms contribute to individual variation in chemosensation ...
