Antennal Transcriptome Analysis and Identification of Candidate Chemosensory Genes of the Harlequin Ladybird Beetle, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

Insects, 2021
In predatory ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), antennae are important for chemosensory reception used during food and mate location, and for finding a suitable oviposition habitat.

Identification of candidate odorant receptors in Asian corn borer Ostrinia furnacalis.

PLoS ONE, 2015
In lepidopteran insects, odorant receptors are involved in the perception of sex pheromones and general odorants. In the Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis, although several pheromone receptors have been identified, no general odorant receptor has ...

Putative ligand binding sites of two functionally characterized bark beetle odorant receptors

BMC Biology, 2020
Bark beetles are major pests of conifer forests, and their behavior is primarily mediated via olfaction. Targeting the odorant receptors (ORs) may thus provide avenues towards improved pest control.

RNA-seq data of tea mosquito bugs, Helopeltis bradyi, antennae

Data in Brief, 2021
Tea Mosquito Bug (TMB), Helopeltis bradyi (Hemiptera: Miridae) is one of the major pest infesting tea and cocoa plantations worldwide. Developing olfaction-based control methods was urges as an alternative to commonly used but non-environmental friendly ...

Structural instability and divergence from conserved residues underlie intracellular retention of mammalian odorant receptors

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance Odor detection in mammals depends on the largest family of G protein-coupled receptors, the odorant receptors, which represent ∼2% of our protein-coding genes. The vast majority of odorant receptors are trapped within the cell when expressed

Expressing exogenous functional odorant receptors in cultured olfactory sensory neurons

Neural Development, 2008
Background Olfactory discrimination depends on the large numbers of odorant receptor genes and differential ligand-receptor signaling among neurons expressing different receptors.

Odorant and Taste Receptors in Sperm Chemotaxis and Cryopreservation: Roles and Implications in Sperm Capacitation, Motility and Fertility

Genes, 2021
Sperm chemotaxis, which guide sperm toward oocyte, is tightly associated with sperm capacitation, motility, and fertility. However, the molecular mechanism of sperm chemotaxis is not known.

The narrowing olfactory landscape of insect odorant receptors

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015
The molecular basis of odorant detection and its corollary, the task of the odorant receptor, are fundamental to understanding olfactory coding and sensory ecology.

The Wire Is Not the Territory: Understanding Representational Drift in Olfaction With Dynamical Systems Theory

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Representational drift is a phenomenon of increasing interest in the cognitive and neural sciences. While investigations are ongoing for other sensory cortices, recent research has demonstrated the pervasiveness in which it occurs in the piriform cortex for olfaction.

The Peripheral Olfactory Repertoire of the Lightbrown Apple Moth, Epiphyas postvittana.

PLoS ONE, 2015
The lightbrown apple moth, Epiphyas postvittana is an increasingly global pest of horticultural crops. Like other moths, E. postvittana relies on olfactory cues to locate mates and oviposition sites.
