Ionotropic Receptor IR75q.2 Mediates Avoidance Reaction to Nonanoic Acid in the Fall Armyworm (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae).

Ionotropic receptors (IRs) play an important role in olfaction, but little is known in nondrosophila insects. Here, we report and functional characterization of IR75q.2 in the invasive moth pest .

Identification and Functional Characterization of General Odorant Binding Proteins in .

The olfactory system in insects are crucial for recognition of host plants and oviposition sites. General odorant binding proteins (GOBPs) are thought to be involved in detecting odorants released by host plants. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is one of the most serious pests of camphor trees, (L.
