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 ...

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.

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.

Stimulation of electro-olfactogram responses in the main olfactory epithelia by airflow depends on the type 3 adenylyl cyclase [PDF]
, 2012 Cilia of olfactory sensory neurons are the primary sensory organelles for olfaction. The detection of odorants by the main olfactory epithelium (MOE) depends on coupling of odorant receptors to the type 3 adenylyl cyclase (AC3) in olfactory cilia.

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.

Insect Odorant Receptors: Channeling Scent [PDF]
Cell, 2008 Odorant detection in insects involves heterodimers between an odorant receptor (OR) and a conserved seven-transmembrane protein called Or83b, but the exact mechanism of OR signal transduction is unclear. Two recent studies in Nature (Sato et al., 2008; Wicher et al., 2008) now reveal that these OR-Or83b heterodimers form odorant-gated ion channels ...

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

Sequence comparisons of odorant receptors among tortricid moths reveal different rates of molecular evolution among family members. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In insects, odorant receptors detect volatile cues involved in behaviours such as mate recognition, food location and oviposition. We have investigated the evolution of three odorant receptors from five species within the moth genera Ctenopseustis and ...
