Simple Summary Insects use olfaction, ie, their sense of smell, to detect odors that elicit
behavioral responses, with structurally similar compounds eliciting different responses. The …

Simple Summary The perception and processing of chemosensory stimuli are indispensable
to the survival of living organisms. In insects, olfaction and gustation play a critical role in …

Insects detect odors via a large variety of odorant receptors (ORs) expressed in olfactory
sensory neurons (OSNs). The insect OR is a heteromeric complex composed of a ligand …

The host-seeking behavior of mosquitoes have long been established to be primarily odor-
mediated. In this process, olfactory receptors (Ors) play a critical role. 1-Octen-3-ol is a …

Abstract BACKGROUND Hippodamia variegata (Goeze)(Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), a
dominant predatory natural enemy species in cotton‐planting, is a key biological control …

BACKGROUND The Apolygus lucorum is one of the most destructive insect pests in China
with a wide range of host plants. Interaction of A. lucorum with surrounding environment …

An electrochemical sensing methodology using an insect odorant receptor (iOR) as the
biological recognition element for detection of odorant compounds is presented. Or22a from …

Odorant receptors (OR) play a critical role in signal transduction and olfactory recognition in
insects. Unfortunately, insect ORs are difficult to express and purify, and limited structural …

Insects that transmit many of the world's deadliest animal diseases, for instance
trypanosomosis, find their suitable hosts and avoid non-preferred hosts mostly through …

Simple Summary Smell is an important sense for insects. The olfactory sense of insects is
involved in their feeding, mating, egg-laying, predation avoidance, and communication …
