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

Identification of Olfactory Genes From the Greater Wax Moth by Antennal Transcriptome Analysis [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 The olfactory system is used by insects to find hosts, mates, and oviposition sites. Insects have different types of olfactory proteins, including odorant-binding proteins (OBPs), chemosensory proteins (CSPs), odorant receptors (ORs), ionotropic ...

Antennal Transcriptome Analysis and Identification of Olfactory Genes in Glenea cantor Fabricius (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) [PDF]
Insects, 2022 Glenea cantor Fabricius (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) is a pest that devastates urban landscapes and causes ecological loss in southern China and Southeast Asian countries where its main host kapok trees are planted. The olfactory system plays a vital role in

Identification of Candidate Olfactory Genes in Scolytus schevyrewi Based on Transcriptomic Analysis [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 The bark beetle, Scolytus schevyrewi (S. schevyrewi), is an economically important pest in China that causes serious damage to the fruit industry, particularly, in Xinjiang Province. Chemical signals play an important role in the behavior of most insects,

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.

Transcriptome sequencing of olfactory-related genes in olfactory transduction of large yellow croaker (Larimichthy crocea) in response to bile salts [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Fish produce and release bile salts as chemical signalling substances that act as sensitive olfactory stimuli. To investigate how bile salts affect olfactory signal transduction in large yellow croaker (Larimichthy crocea), deep sequencing of olfactory ...
