Behavioral Effect of Plant Volatiles Binding to Spodoptera littoralis Larval Odorant Receptors

Nine odorant receptors tuned to plant volatiles as expressed in S. littoralis caterpillars are identified, allowing identification of some ORs whose activation is related to caterpillar attraction and may be promising targets for future plant protection strategies.

The silkworm gustatory receptor BmGr63 is dedicated to the detection of isoquercetin in mulberry

Gustatory systems in phytophagous insects are used to perceive feeding stimulants and deterrents, and are involved in insect decisions to feed on particular plants. During the process, gustatory…

Characterization of a specific odorant receptor for linalool in the Chinese citrus fly Bactrocera minax (Diptera: Tephritidae).

Evidence of peripheral olfactory impairment in the domestic silkworms: insight from the comparative transcriptome and population genetics

The results suggested that down-regulation of the olfactory-related genes and relaxed selection might be the major reasons for Olfactory impairment of the domestic silkworm reared completely indoor environment.

Stage-specific expression of an odorant receptor underlies olfactory behavioral plasticity in Spodoptera littoralis larvae

The results demonstrate an olfactory mechanism underlying this plasticity in foraging behavior during larval development of S. littoralis and demonstrate an unprecedented instar-specific behavioral plasticity mediated by an OR, and knocking out this OR disrupts larval Behavioral plasticity.

Deletion of the Bombyx mori odorant receptor co-receptor (BmOrco) impairs olfactory sensitivity in silkworms.

Identification and Functional Characterization of Sex Pheromone Receptors in the Oriental Fruit Moth, Grapholita molesta (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae).

Electrophysiological analysis showed that the males had a significantly reduced sensitivity to the main pheromones after the knockdown of GmolOR2, which makes a better understanding of phersomone chemoreception and provides a theoretical basis to developing novel, efficient, and environmentally friendly insect attractants.

Identification and Tissue Expression Profiles of Odorant Receptor Genes in the Green Peach Aphid Myzus persicae

This study identified 33 OR genes from the genome and transcriptomes of the green peach aphid and analyzed their phylogenetic relationship and genomic structure, revealing that 27 out of the 33 MperORs were uniquely or primarily expressed in the antennae, indicating their putative roles in chemoreception.

Identification and preliminary characterization of chemosensory-related proteins in the gall fly, Procecidochares utilis by transcriptomic analysis.

The developmental transcriptome of the tephritid stem gall fly, Procecidochares utilis, was conducted using next-generation sequencing technology and a total of 133 chemosensory genes were identified, including 40 OBPs, 29 GRs, 24 ORs, 28 IRs, 6 CSPs, and 6 SNMPs.

Identification of Olfactory Genes From the Greater Wax Moth by Antennal Transcriptome Analysis

This work provides a transcriptome resource for olfactory genes in G. mellonella, and the findings pave the way for studying the function of these genes.

Identification and functional characterization of a sex pheromone receptor in the silkmoth Bombyx mori.

Evidence is provided that BmOR-1 is a G protein-coupled sex pheromone receptor that recognizes bombykol, and that it leads to the activation of a BmGalphaq-mediated signaling cascade.

A candidate olfactory receptor subtype highly conserved across different insect orders

The identification of HR2 homologues in two further lepidopteran species, the moths Antheraea pernyi and Bombyx mori, which share 86–88% of their amino acids, suggests that this unique receptor subtype may fulfill a special function in chemosensory neurons of insects.

Substances in Mulberry Leaves which attract Silkworm Larvæ (Bombyx mori)

It was found that substances which attract silkworm larvæ exist widely in green plants, but that the degree of attractivity differs, and that the leaves of soya bean, mulberry and tea had the strongest attractivity, but the silkworms gathered around them without eating them.

Differential Attractiveness of Induced Odors Emitted by Eight Maize Varieties for the Parasitoid Cotesia marginiventris: Is Quality or Quantity Important?

A comparison of the odor collection with results from the behavioral assays indicates that not only the quantity of the volatile emissions, but also the quality composition of the combustible blends is important for attraction of C. marginiventris.
