Candidate pheromone receptors provide the basis for the response of distinct antennal neurons
to pheromonal compounds - Große‐Wilde - 2007 - European Journal of Neuroscience - …

… mori PBP was expressed in E. coli and purified from a periplasmic preparation of the bacteria
as described previously (Wojtasek and Leal, 1999; Campanacci et al., 2001; Oldham et al., …

Butterflies and moths differ significantly in their daily activities: butterflies are diurnal while
moths are largely nocturnal or crepuscular. This life history difference is presumably reflected …

The remarkable responsiveness of male moths to female released pheromones is based on
the extremely sensitive and selective reaction of highly specialized sensory cells in the male …

10.7554/eLife.02115.001 The olfactory sense detects a plethora of behaviorally relevant odor
molecules; gene families involved in olfaction exhibit high diversity in different animal phyla…

Previous studies have reported that chromosome synteny in Lepidoptera has been well
conserved, yet the number of haploid chromosomes varies widely from 5 to 223. Here we report …

In recent years, considerable progress has been made in understanding the molecular
mechanisms underlying olfaction in insects. Because of the diverse nature of the gene families …

Manduca sexta, known as the tobacco hornworm or Carolina sphinx moth, is a lepidopteran
insect that is used extensively as a model system for research in insect biochemistry, …

… The BLAST step was performed with a lenient E-value cutoff at 0.1 to account for the high
sequence variability among the olfactory gene families. The mapping step was done using …

The hawkmoth Manduca sexta and one of its preferred hosts in the North American
Southwest, Datura wrightii, share a model insect–plant relationship based on mutualistic and …
