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

Male moths detect and find their mates using species-specific sex pheromones emitted by
conspecific females. Olfaction plays a vital role in this behavior. Since the first discovery of …

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 …

Spodoptera frugiperda is a kind of polyphagous pest, and can damage a large number
different host plants around the worldwide. The molecular mechanisms of two general …

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

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 …

Background A large number of insect chemosensory genes from different gene subfamilies
have been identified and annotated, but their functional diversity and complexity are largely …

Insect chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are proposed to capture and transport hydrophobic
chemicals across the sensillum lymph to olfactory receptors (ORs), but this has not been …

Moths have evolved a sensitive and sophisticated olfactory system to sense a variety of
semiochemicals from the external environment. In chemosensory processes, the odorant …

Heavy metal pollution in the soil results in the accumulation of heavy metals in plants. While
heavy metals are toxic to plants, plants also resist the toxicity of heavy metals through the …
