The whitebacked planthopper (WBPH) Sogatella furcifera is a notorious rice pest in Asia that utilizes chemoreception to help in locating and selecting host plants. In this study, we used a transcriptomic approach, based on the WBPH transcriptome, to identify genes encoding for proteins exhibiting OBP-like features. We discovered 12 important chemosensory genes, termed odorant binding protein (OBP)...
Pheromone-binding proteins (PBPs) were formerly thought to act as passive pheromone carriers. However, recent studies, particularly in Drosophila melanogaster, suggest that PBPs are involved in the recognition of semiochemicals, thus making ligand-binding studies more meaningful. Previously, we cloned three PBPs from Spodoptera litura (Slit), and showed that SlitPBP1 is much more abundant than the...
