Simple Summary Insect pheromones are specific natural compounds that meet modern pest
control requirements, ie, species-specificity, lack of toxicity to mammals, environmentally …

The sense of smell enables insects to recognize olfactory signals crucial for survival and
reproduction. In insects, odorant detection highly depends on the interplay of distinct …

Summary (E)-β-farnesene (EBF) is an important chemical cue mediating interactions
between plants, aphids, and natural enemies. This chemical has two origins, being secreted …

General odorant-binding proteins (GOBPs) are long considered responsible for the
perception of plant odorants. In this study with the important noctuid pest Spodoptera litura …

Pheromones are chemicals that serve intraspecific communication. In animals, the ability to
detect and discriminate pheromones in a complex chemical environment substantially …

Pheromone communication is an essential component of reproductive isolation in animals.
As such, evolution of pheromone signaling can be linked to speciation. For example, the …

The ability of an animal to detect, discriminate, and respond to odors depends on the
function of its olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs), which in turn depends ultimately on …

Usually, the recognition of sex pheromone signals is restricted to adult moths. Here, our
behavioral assay showed that fourth-instar Spodoptera litura larvae are attracted to cabbage …

Olfaction of Lepidopteran larvae has received little attention, compared to the damage to
crops done by insects at this stage. We report that larvae of the diamondback moth Plutella …

Sex pheromone receptors (PRs) are key players in chemical communication between
mating partners in insects. In the highly diversified insect order Lepidoptera, male PRs tuned …
