Moth sexual pheromones are widely studied as a fine-tuned system of intraspecific sexual
communication that reinforces interspecific reproductive isolation. However, their evolution …

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 …

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

Three different pheromone binding proteins (PBPs) can typically be found in the sensilla
lymph of noctuid moth antennae, but their relative contributions in perception of the sex …

Although many studies on lepidopteran pheromone‐binding proteins (PBPs)/general
odorant‐binding proteins (GOBPs) have been reported, the functional differentiation within …

Insect odorant binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to involve in insects' olfaction perception.
In the present study, we identified 38 OBP genes from the antennal transcriptomes of …

Pheromone binding proteins (PBPs) are thought to play key roles in insect sex pheromone
recognition; however, there is little in vivo evidence to support this viewpoint in comparison …

Chouioia cunea Yang is an endoparasitic wasp that attacks pupae of Hyphantria cunea
(Drury), an invasive moth species that severely damages forests in China. Chemosensory …

BACKGROUND Mythimna loreyi is an important agricultural pest with a sensitive sex
pheromone communication system. To clarify the pheromone binding proteins (PBPs) and …

Olfactory communication research with insects utilizing sex pheromones has focused on the
effects of pheromones on signal receivers. Early pheromone detection studies using the …
