Odor Sensor and Odor Recorder

open access: yesJournal of Japan Association on Odor Environment, 2006
食品,飲料,化粧品,環境計測などの分野では,においを簡便かつ客観的に測定できるセンサーが要求されている.水晶振動子ガスセンサーはかおりの強さとセンサー感度に相関があり,簡便に多様なセンサーを製作することができるので,このセンサーの原理と製作方法を紹介する.水晶振動子ガスセンサーを応用して,複数の要素臭の混ざったにおいを記録し,記録したにおいを再生するにおい記録再生システムの実験について述べる.さらにニーズが見込まれるセンサーとして低濃度の硫化物を検出して識別する口臭センサー,ガス検知管と光学センサーを利用した悪臭センサーについても紹介する.

Do aphid endosymbiotic bacteria influence parasitoid searching behaviour through changes in aphid honeydew production?

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Hamiltonella defensa infection increases honeydew production in certain aphid genotypes, potentially modifying aphid feeding behaviour. Parasitoid wasps, Aphidius ervi, are more attracted to honeydew from H. defensa‐infected aphids; though larger honeydew amounts may slightly deter searching.

Fungal infection affects sexual signalling and mate choice in the sugarcane borer

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Fungus‐infected Diatraea saccharalis females exhibit enhanced attractiveness to males in wind tunnel assays. Fungal infection alters the pheromone profile of females, increasing the relative abundance of Z9‐16: Ald, a minor but behaviourally active component of the species' sex pheromone blend.

The distribution of odorants (125) into different chemical classes.

open access: yes, 2015
The odorants belonged to different chemical classes with varying length of carbon chains. Few specific odorants that induce responses from insect ORs and mammalian ORs were grouped separately to understand their receptor binding activity.

A lipid‐sensitive food choice behavior influences aging outcomes from a longevity‐promoting diet

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
C. elegans are exposed to a variety of bacteria in their natural environment and must be able to distinguish between beneficial and detrimental food sources. We show that C. elegans exposed to the bacterium from their natural habitat, Methylobacterium, disrupts lipid homeostasis, causing worms to avoid this bacterial species and choose the laboratory ...

Olfactory receptor antagonism between odorants

open access: yes, 2004
The detection of thousands of volatile odorants is mediated by several hundreds of different G protein-coupled olfactory receptors (ORs). The main strategy in encoding odorant identities is a combinatorial receptor code scheme in that different odorants ...

From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

Thermogenesis‐derived spatiotemporal microclimates guide pollinator movement to ensure pollination

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Alocasia odora's microclimatic heterogeneity guides Colocasiomyia fly movement within its inflorescence. During the female stage, midday heat in the upper spadix pushes flies down to the cooler female zone. During the male stage, nocturnal warmth in the upper part pulls flies upward and spathe constriction closes the lower female chamber.

GLP‐1 Receptor Agonists and Weight Loss: A Critical Review of Mechanisms

open access: yesObesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT GLP‐1 receptor agonist medications have the potential to promote marked weight loss, but maximal and sustained benefit may be compromised by poor compliance and cessation of use. Development of next‐generation medications that address current obstacles to effective use and development of effective adjunct treatments will benefit from better ...
