Sex Pheromone Receptors of Lepidopteran Insects

Chan Yang et al.

Summary: In this review, we summarized the information and functional characteristics of sex pheromone receptors (SPRs) and co-receptors (Orco) in Lepidopteran insects, focusing on the interaction between SPRs and their ligands and the progress in sex pheromone signaling pathways. Further research on the structure of SPRs and the binding pattern of ligands will be crucial for the development of sex lure technology and pest control.

Spodoptera littoralis genome mining brings insights on the dynamic of expansion of gustatory receptors in polyphagous noctuidae

Camille Meslin et al.

Summary: Bitter taste is an important defense mechanism against poisonous foods in animals. This study reveals that the expansion of gustatory receptor genes in Spodoptera spp. may be mediated by transposable elements, specifically SINE transposons. Positive selection within the gustatory receptor gene family is cryptic. This research provides valuable genomic information on the mechanisms of gustatory receptor expansions in polyphagous insect species.

The ionotropic receptor gene family in Lepidoptera and Trichoptera: Annotation, evolutionary and functional perspectives

Ning-Na Yin et al.

Summary: The study revealed differences in ionotropic receptor (IR) genes in Lepidoptera and Trichoptera, the most diverse insect orders representing terrestrial and aquatic insects. Phylogenetic analysis classified the IRs into three subfamilies, with A-IRs and LS-IRs showing high conservation in gene structure, while D-IRs exhibited low amino acid identities. Expression profiles showcased functional diversities of IRs in specific chemosensory behaviors of male and female adults in Bombyx mori and Papilio xuthus.

Chemoreceptor Diversity in Apoid Wasps and Its Reduction during the Evolution of the Pollen-Collecting Lifestyle of Bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea)

George F. Obiero et al.

Summary: Chemoreceptors play important roles in helping insects interact with their environment, detect food sources, and aid communication. Social species of Hymenoptera have larger chemoreceptor gene repertoires compared to solitary species, possibly due to the need to recognize nest-mates and caste. The study of chemosensory-related gene repertoires in apoid wasps revealed intriguing findings, such as larger odorant receptor repertoires and a notable loss of odorant receptor gene diversity associated with the evolution of pollen-collecting behavior in bees.

Gen-Ceng Li et al.

Summary: This study identified chemosensory genes in the Zygaenidae family of Lepidoptera, with a specific focus on transmembrane protein genes involved in chemoreception in Achelura yunnanensis. The analysis revealed new chemoreceptor sequences and highlighted the expression profiles of chemosensory genes in antennae and reproductive tissues, providing potential candidates for sensing sex pheromones and other odorants.

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.

Yaohui Wang et al.

Summary: This study successfully assembled and annotated the genome of the black cutworm, revealing gene families related to its unique attributes and finding similarities between the black cutworm genome and certain migratory butterfly genomes. Additionally, the black cutworm genome contains more gustatory receptor genes, suggesting a common role of gustatory receptors expansion in host range expansion.

Combined transcriptomic, proteomic and genomic analysis identifies reproductive-related proteins and potential modulators of female behaviors in Spodoptera litura

Hai-Yan Xiao et al.

Summary: This study characterizes reproductive-related proteins in the polyandrous moth Spodoptera litura by combining transcriptomics, genomics, and proteomics approaches, revealing numerous proteins potentially involved in reproduction. Some OBPs and CSPs are found to be expressed in reproductive tissues, with some exhibiting sex-biased or tissue-enriched expression. Proteomic analysis identifies transferred proteins in mated females that may modulate female post-mating behaviors.
