Incidental pollination by passing animals: An overlooked mechanism?
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The conservation of pollinators is essential for sustaining the ecosystem services of pollen transfer, which support crop production, biodiversity conservation and ecosystem health. While primary pollinators have been the focus of most conservation efforts, subordinate or incidental pollinators have been largely overlooked.

Interdisciplinary approaches to enhance sensory properties and consumer acceptance in pulse crops
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Enhancing the flavor profile of pulse crops such as chickpea, dry pea, and lentil is essential for increasing human acceptance of plant‐based diets. Despite their nutritional value, undesirable sensory attributes of pulses, including off‐flavors and bitterness, reduce consumer acceptance.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Trends in semiochemical research highlight promising attractants and repellents for ‘push–pull’ pest control strategies of the grey field slug. Extracts from plants, predators, entomopathogenic fungi, and essential oils demonstrate potential in modifying grey field slug behaviour, inducing avoidance, antifeeding responses, or mortality, offering ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Methyl salicylate causes dispersal of whiteflies from tomato plants (push), and enhances the catching efficacy of an attractive green‐light‐emitting diode (LED)‐enhanced yellow sticky trap (pull), showing potential for a novel push–pull system. Abstract BACKGROUND Methyl salicylate (MeSa), a plant defense elicitor and whitefly deterrent, has been shown

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Human skin volatiles influence midge behavior, with certain compounds acting as strong attractants or repellents. These odor differences are largely regulated by skin microbiota, offering insight into host preference mechanisms and potential for improved vector control. Abstract BACKGROUND Midges are widely distributed globally.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The forest pest Ips typographus was found to demonstrate attraction to Sitka spruce, and to colonize and breed upon cut logs as successfully as its primary host Norway spruce. This has implications for the beetle's establishment and impact in Sitka‐growing regions, including Britain where I.

Olfaction is an ancient sensory system allowing an organism to detect chemicals in its environment. The first step in odor transduction is mediated by binding odorants to olfactory receptors (ORs) which belong to the heptahelical G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily. Mammalian ORs are disposed in clusters on virtually all chromosomes. They are

Modeling of Olfactory Receptors
2023Olfactory receptors (ORs) form the largest subfamily within class A G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). No experimental structural data of any OR is available to date. Homology modeling has become a popular strategy to propose plausible OR models, in order to study the structure-function relationships of the receptors and to aid the discovery and ...

Bioelectronic noses can utilize olfactory receptors (ORs) as recognition elements. This chapter describes biochemical characteristics of these OR proteins. ORs being G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are integral membrane proteins composed of seven transmembrane spanning helices.

Olfaction plays a critical role in several aspects of life. Olfactory disorders are very common in the general population, and can lead to malnutrition, weight loss, food poisoning, depression, and other disturbances. Odorants are first detected in the upper region of the nose by the main olfactory epithelium (OE). In this region, millions of olfactory
