Odorant‐binding proteins (OBPs) and chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are regarded as
carriers of pheromones and odorants in insect chemoreception. These proteins are typically …

▪ Abstract Gustatory receptors associated with feeding in phytophagous insects are broadly
categorized as phagostimulatory or deterrent. No phytophagous insect is known that tastes …

Aphids are amongst the most devastating sap-feeding insects of plants. Like most plant
parasites, aphids require intimate associations with their host plants to gain access to …

The form and function of the mouthparts in adult Lepidoptera and their feeding behavior are
reviewed from evolutionary and ecological points of view. The formation of the suctorial …

Sequences coding for chemosensory proteins (CSP) CSPMbraA and CSPMbraB, soluble
proteins of low mol. wt, have been amplified using polymerase chain reaction on antennal …

We performed a genome‐wide analysis for candidate odorant‐binding protein (OBP) genes
in the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae (Ag). We identified fifty‐seven putative genes …

Background Insect odorant binding proteins (OBPs) and chemosensory proteins (CSPs)
play an important role in chemical communication of insects. Gene discovery of these …

Small chemosensory proteins (CSPs) belong to a conserved, but poorly understood protein
family that has been implicated in transporting chemical stimuli within insect sensilla …

Chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are believed to be involved in chemical communication and
perception. Such proteins, ofM r 13,000, have been isolated from several sensory organs of …
