Long-wave opsin involved in body color plastic development in Nilaparvata lugens
BMC Genomics, 2023 Background As one of the components of visual photopigments in photoreceptor cells, opsin exhibits different spectral peaks and plays crucial roles in visual function. Besides, it is discovered to evolve other functions despite color vision.
