Profiling of olfactory receptor gene expression in whole human olfactory mucosa. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Olfactory perception is mediated by a large array of olfactory receptor genes. The human genome contains 851 olfactory receptor gene loci. More than 50% of the loci are annotated as nonfunctional due to frame-disrupting mutations.

A screen for genes expressed in the olfactory organs of Drosophila melanogaster identifies genes involved in olfactory behaviour. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: For insects the sense of smell and associated olfactory-driven behaviours are essential for survival. Insects detect odorants with families of olfactory receptor proteins that are very different to those of mammals, and there are likely to be

Expression of Olfactory Sense-Related Genes in Chicken Olfactory Epithelium

The Journal of Poultry Science
Olfaction plays a key role in the selection and acquisition of feed as well as its vision and gustation. Although olfactory behavior in chickens is speculated to depend on olfactory receptors, trace-amine-associated receptors (TAARs), and its signaling ...

RNA sequencing of olfactory bulb in Parkinson's disease reveals gene alterations associated with olfactory dysfunction

Neurobiology of Disease
The olfactory bulb is involved early in the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease (PD), which is consistent with the early onset of olfactory dysfunction.

Olfactory Sensilla and Olfactory Genes in the Parasitoid Wasp Trichogramma pretiosum Riley (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae). [PDF]

Insects, 2021
Trichogramma pretiosum Riley (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) is a tiny natural egg parasitoid of several agricultural pest insects, which has been widely used in the biological control for Plutella xylostella, Helicoverpa armigera, Spodoptera frugiperda and Ectomyelois ceratoniae. However, limited studies have been conducted on T.

Sublethal Dose of β-Cypermethrin Impairs the Olfaction of Bactrocera dorsalis by Suppressing the Expression of Chemosensory Genes

Insects, 2022
The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis, is one of the most destructive fruit insect pests. β-cypermethrin has been widely used in the orchard to control this major insect. Based on the resistance monitoring in 2011, B. dorsalis developed significant

The human olfactory receptor gene family [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2004
Humans perceive an immense variety of chemicals as having distinct odors. Odor perception initiates in the nose, where odorants are detected by a large family of olfactory receptors (ORs). ORs have diverse protein sequences but can be assigned to subfamilies on the basis of sequence relationships.

[Advances on olfactory receptor gene]. [PDF]

Yi chuan = Hereditas, 2010
The olfactory sense plays a key role in animals'life time. The main gene related with olfaction was olfactory receptor (OR) gene. This review introduced the structure, expression regulation, distribution, molecular evolution and polymorphism of OR gene. The relationship between OR gene and olfactory function and olfactory deficits was also discussed.

The mouse olfactory receptor gene family [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2004
In mammals, odor detection in the nose is mediated by a diverse family of olfactory receptors (ORs), which are used combinatorially to detect different odorants and encode their identities. The OR family can be divided into subfamilies whose members are highly related and are likely to recognize structurally related odorants.

Organization and distribution of glomeruli in the bowhead whale olfactory bulb [PDF]

PeerJ, 2015
Although modern baleen whales (Mysticeti) retain a functional olfactory system that includes olfactory bulbs, cranial nerve I and olfactory receptor genes, their olfactory capabilities have been reduced to a great degree.
