Selectivity of odorant receptors in insects [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2012 Insect olfactory receptors (ORs) detect chemicals, shape neuronal physiology, and regulate behavior. Although ORs have been categorized as "generalists" and "specialists" based on their ligand spectrum, both electrophysiological studies and recent pharmacological investigations show that ORs specifically recognize non-pheromonal compounds, and that our

PLoS Computational Biology, 2020 Over the past two decades, substantial amount of work has been conducted to characterize different odorant receptors, neuroanatomy and odorant response properties of the early olfactory system of Drosophila melanogaster. Yet many odorant receptors remain

Scientific Reports, 2022 Deciphering the relationship between molecules, olfactory receptors (ORs) and corresponding odors remains a challenging task. It requires a comprehensive identification of ORs responding to a given odorant.

Research Progress of Insect Odorant Receptors
Guangdong nongye kexue, 2022 For insects, olfaction is an important signal input source for their behavioral perception. There are many kinds of proteins involved in the process of odor recognition, and they play a leading role in regulating feeding, swarming, mating, oviposition ...

eLife, 2020 Antennae are often considered to be the nostrils of insects. Here, we sequenced the transcriptome of the pheromone gland-ovipositor complex of Helicoverpa assulta and discovered that an odorant receptor (OR) gene, HassOR31, had much higher expression in ...

The key food odorant receptive range of broadly tuned receptor OR2W1.
Food Chemistry, 2021 Mammals perceive a multitude of odorants by their chemical sense of olfaction, a high-dimensional stimulus-detection system, with hundreds of narrowly or broadly tuned receptors, enabling pattern recognition by the brain.

Characterisation of Bombyx mori odorant-binding proteins reveals that a general odorant-binding protein discriminates between sex pheromone components [PDF]
, 2009 In many insect species, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to be responsible for the transport of pheromones and other semiochemicals across the sensillum lymph to the olfactory receptors (ORs) within the antennal sensilla.

Dynamics of odor sampling strategies in mice.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Mammalian olfactory receptor neurons in the nasal cavity are stimulated by odorants carried by the inhaled air and their activation is therefore tied to and driven by the breathing or sniffing frequency.

Nature Communications, 2020 Sexual signaling is an important reproductive barrier known to evolve early during the formation of new species, but the genetic mechanisms that facilitate the divergence of sexual signals remain elusive.
