Odorant‐binding proteins (OBPs) and chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are regarded as
carriers of pheromones and odorants in insect chemoreception. These proteins are typically …

Detection of chemical signals both in insects and in vertebrates is mediated by soluble
proteins, highly concentrated in olfactory organs, which bind semiochemicals and activate …

Chemoreception is a crucial biological process that is essential for the survival of animals. In
insects, olfaction allows the organism to recognise volatile cues that allow the detection of …

Behavioral plasticity is the most striking trait in locust phase transition. However, the genetic
basis for behavioral plasticity in locusts is largely unknown. To unravel the molecular …

Small chemosensory proteins (CSPs) belong to a conserved, but poorly understood, protein
family found in insects and other arthropods. They exhibit both broad and restricted …

Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are small soluble polypeptides found in sensory organs of
vertebrates and insects as well as in secretory glands and are dedicated to detection and …

Background Insect odorant binding proteins (OBPs) and chemosensory proteins (CSPs)
play an important role in chemical communication of insects. Gene discovery of these …

Sexual communication in moths offers a simplified scenario to model and investigate insect
sensory perception. Both PBPs (pheromone-binding proteins) and PRs (pheromone …

Small chemosensory proteins (CSPs) belong to a conserved, but poorly understood protein
family that has been implicated in transporting chemical stimuli within insect sensilla …

Insect chemosensory proteins (CSPs) as well as odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) have
been supposed to transport hydrophobic chemicals to receptors on sensory neurons …
