Involvement of the olfactory system in the induction of anti-fatigue effects by odorants. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Some components of the neural circuits underlying innate odor-evoked responses have recently been elucidated. Odor information detected by the olfactory receptors is transmitted from the olfactory bulb to the cortical amygdala, where physiological and ...

Role of Axonal Odorant Receptors in Olfactory Topography

Neuroscience Insights, 2020
A unique feature in the organization of the olfactory system is the dual role of the odorant receptors: they detect odors in the nasal epithelium and they play an instructive role in the convergence of olfactory sensory neuron axons in specific loci, ie,

Antennal transcriptome analysis of chemosensory genes in the cowpea beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus (F.).

PLoS ONE, 2022
Olfaction, one of the most important sensory systems governing insect behavior, is a possible target for pest management. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed the antennal transcriptome of the cowpea beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) (Coleoptera ...

Onset of Odorant Receptors [PDF]

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2009
Odorant receptors are thought to be critical determinants of olfactory sensory neuron axon targeting and organization. Nonetheless, a systematic characterization of the onset of odorant receptor expression has not yet been done in the main olfactory epithelium.

Odorant Receptor Inhibition Is Fundamental to Odor Encoding [PDF]

Current Biology, 2019
SUMMARYMost natural odors are complex mixtures of many volatile components, competing to bind odorant receptors (ORs) expressed in olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) of the nose. To date surprisingly little is known about how OR antagonism shapes neuronal representations in the periphery of the olfactory system.

Axonal Odorant Receptors Mediate Axon Targeting

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: In mammals, odorant receptors not only detect odors but also define the target in the olfactory bulb, where sensory neurons project to give rise to the sensory map.

Advantage of the Highly Restricted Odorant Receptor Expression Pattern in Chemosensory Neurons of Drosophila. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
A fundamental molecular feature of olfactory systems is that individual neurons express only one receptor from a large odorant receptor gene family. While numerous theories have been proposed, the functional significance and evolutionary advantage of ...

Antennal Transcriptome Analysis and Identification of Candidate Chemosensory Genes of the Harlequin Ladybird Beetle, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

Insects, 2021
In predatory ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), antennae are important for chemosensory reception used during food and mate location, and for finding a suitable oviposition habitat.

Identification of candidate odorant receptors in Asian corn borer Ostrinia furnacalis.

PLoS ONE, 2015
In lepidopteran insects, odorant receptors are involved in the perception of sex pheromones and general odorants. In the Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis, although several pheromone receptors have been identified, no general odorant receptor has ...

RNA-seq data of tea mosquito bugs, Helopeltis bradyi, antennae

Data in Brief, 2021
Tea Mosquito Bug (TMB), Helopeltis bradyi (Hemiptera: Miridae) is one of the major pest infesting tea and cocoa plantations worldwide. Developing olfaction-based control methods was urges as an alternative to commonly used but non-environmental friendly ...
