This paper provides an overview of recent developments in the field of volatile organic
compound (VOC) sensors, which are finding uses in healthcare, safety, environmental …

Simple Summary Insect pheromones are specific natural compounds that meet modern pest
control requirements, ie, species-specificity, lack of toxicity to mammals, environmentally …

The sense of smell enables insects to recognize and discriminate a broad range of volatile
chemicals in their environment originating from prey, host plants and conspecifics. These …

Among the many wonders of nature, the sense of smell of the fly Drosophila melanogaster
might seem, at first glance, of esoteric interest. Nevertheless, for over a century, the 'nose'of …

The sense of smell enables insects to recognize olfactory signals crucial for survival and
reproduction. In insects, odorant detection highly depends on the interplay of distinct …

One goal of modern day neuroscience is the establishment of molecular maps that assign
unique features to individual neuron types. Such maps provide important starting points for …

Pheromones are chemicals that serve intraspecific communication. In animals, the ability to
detect and discriminate pheromones in a complex chemical environment substantially …

The chemosensory system is crucial during the growth and development of the moths.
Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is one of the most destructive insect pests …

Herein, we present that insect odorant receptors reconstituted into the lipid bilayers of
liposomes can be successfully immobilized onto a gold surface and selectively and …

The detection of female-released species-specific sex pheromones in moths is mediated by
the pheromone receptors that are expressed in the sensory neurons in the olfactory sensilla …
