Insects, 2022 Insect olfactory sensilla house olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) and supports cells (SCs). The olfactory sensory processes require, besides the odorant receptors (ORs), insect-specific members of the CD36 family, named sensory neuron membrane proteins ...

An RNA-seq screen of the Drosophila antenna identifies a transporter necessary for ammonia detection. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Many insect vectors of disease detect their hosts through olfactory cues, and thus it is of great interest to understand better how odors are encoded.

Antennal sensory structures of Phenacoccus solenopsis (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae)
Frontiers in Zoology, 2022 Background The cotton mealybug Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is one of the most devastating sap-sucking pests of cultivated plants. The success of P.

Odorant Responses and Courtship Behaviors Influenced by at4 Neurons in Drosophila. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In insects, pheromones function as triggers to elicit complex behavior programs, such as courtship and mating behavior. In most species, the neurons tuned to pheromones are localized in a specific subset of olfactory sensilla located on the antenna ...

Ir76b is a Co-receptor for Amine Responses in Drosophila Olfactory Neurons
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021 Two large families of olfactory receptors, the Odorant Receptors (ORs) and Ionotropic Receptors (IRs), mediate responses to most odors in the insect olfactory system. Individual odorant binding “tuning” OrX receptors are expressed by olfactory neurons in

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are important for the perception of chemical signals by insects. Effective pest management strategies can be developed by understanding the host location mechanism and the physiological functions of OBPs in olfactory ...

Recent Insights into Insect Olfactory Receptors and Odorant-Binding Proteins
Insects, 2022 Human and insect olfaction share many general features, but insects differ from mammalian systems in important ways. Mammalian olfactory neurons share the same overlying fluid layer in the nose, and neuronal tuning entirely depends upon receptor ...

Sensilla-Specific Expression of Odorant Receptors in the Desert Locust Schistocerca gregaria
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 The desert locust Schistocerca gregaria recognizes multiple chemical cues, which are received by olfactory sensory neurons housed in morphologically identifiable sensilla.
