Putative ligand binding sites of two functionally characterized bark beetle odorant receptors

, 2021
Background: Bark beetles are major pests of conifer forests, and their behavior is primarily mediated via olfaction. Targeting the odorant receptors (ORs) may thus provide avenues towards improved pest control.

Pestoscope: AI-Based Pest Detection

Journal of Student Research
Before humans became hyper-specialized, most people primarily relied upon farming as a means of food acquisition. However, up to 40% of global crop production is lost to plant pests. With erratic weather linked to global warming, crop-destroying insects have begun thriving in these newfound conditions (Down To Earth 2021).
