Putative ligand binding sites of two functionally characterized bark beetle odorant receptors

Jothi K. Yuvaraj et al.

Summary: This study annotated 73 ORs from an antennal transcriptome of I. typographus and reported the functional characterization of two ORs (ItypOR46 and ItypOR49) responsive to single enantiomers of common bark beetle pheromone compounds. Homology modeling and molecular docking were used to predict their binding sites, providing insight into ligand-OR interaction for the functional evolution of the insect OR gene family. The ecological importance of these receptors and their potential use in pest control and biosensors to detect bark beetle infestations suggest further evaluation of these ORs.

Odorant Receptors for Detecting Flowering Plant Cues Are Functionally Conserved across Moths and Butterflies

Mengbo Guo et al.

Summary: This study characterized the role of the moth Helicoverpa armigera OR42 and its orthologs in plant-volatile detection, revealing strong specificity to a common floral scent component across Glossata species. The research also demonstrated the coevolution of these ORs with the tube-like proboscis in moths and their essential role in host-detection. These findings provide insights into the intimate adaptations and ecological interactions between nectar feeding insects and flowering plants.

Pheromone receptor of the globally invasive quarantine pest of the palm tree, the red palm weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus)

Binu Antony et al.

Summary: Palm trees hold significant economic, sociocultural, touristic, and heritage value worldwide, with the red palm weevil being a major enemy causing massive economic losses in palm tree cultivation globally. Identifying the pheromone receptor of the red palm weevil opens new avenues for mating disruption and early detection of this pest, potentially offering novel approaches to control this challenging pest.
