Besides dividing the organism's immune system into adaptive and innate immunity, it has
long been thought that only adaptive immunity can establish immune memory. However …

In this study, we annotated 49 odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) in Papilio xuthus, with four
novel genes and seven improved sequences. Expression profiles identified numerous OBPs …

Simple Summary Dioryctria abietella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is a destructive forest pest that
feeds on the shoots and cones of Pinaceae plants. The reception of host volatiles and toxic …

Coprinopsis cinerea has seven homologs of the Aspergillus nidulans transcription factor
NsdD. Of these, CcNsdD1 and CcNsdD2 from C. cinerea show the best identities of 62 and …

Mono-and bi-allelic variants in ALDH18A1 cause a spectrum of human disorders associated
with cutaneous and neurological findings that overlap with both cutis laxa and spastic …

Attracting herbivores and their natural enemies is a standard method where plant volatiles
mediate tritrophic interactions. However, it remains unknown whether the shared attraction …

Chemosensation is important for the survival and reproduction of animals. The odorant
binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to be involved in chemosensation together with …

In Drosophila melanogaster and other insects, the seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) and male
sex pheromones that enter the female with sperm during mating are essential for fertility and …

Variation in quantitative traits arises from naturally segregating alleles with environmentally
sensitive effects, but how individual variants in single genes affect the genotype-phenotype …

Insect odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are members of a rapidly evolving multigene family
traditionally thought to facilitate chemosensation. However, studies on Drosophila have …
