Abstract: Traps baited with female-produced sex pheromones have been very effective in the monitoring and management of mirid bugs in numerous field trials. However, none of the target odorant receptors for sex pheromone components in Apolygus… read more here.

Abstract: In the ciliateEuplotes raikovi, water-borneprotein pheromonespromote the vegetative cell growth and mating bycompetitively bindingas autocrine and heterologous signalsto putativecellreceptors represented by membrane-bound pheromone isoforms. A previously determined crystal structure of pheromone Er-1 supported a pheromone/receptor… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biom12030341
Abstract: Sex pheromone receptors are crucial in insects for mate finding and contribute to species premating isolation. Many pheromone receptors have been functionally characterized, especially in moths, but loss of function studies are rare. Notably, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/genes12121845
Abstract: The release and sensation of sex pheromone play a role in the reproductive success of vertebrates including fish. Previous studies have shown that the weather loach Misgurnus anguillicaudatus perceives sex pheromones by olfaction to stimulate… read more here.
