Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the harmful impact of a wood-boring pest on trees and explores the potential for eco-friendly control strategies through understanding its olfactory sensory system.
- Researchers conducted transcriptome sequencing of different body parts of the pest, focusing on odorant binding protein (OBP) genes, and found eight highly expressed OBPs in the antennae.
- Among these, AgerOBP23 demonstrated strong binding to various pheromones, plant volatiles, and insecticides, suggesting it could be a target for future research on pest control strategies through chemical interactions.
The rape stem weevil (Ceutorhynchus asper Roel.) and its close relatives primarily breed on cruciferous plants and cause severe damage to rapeseed production. However, their genetic and molecular information is still scarce.
