Abstract:Aphids heavily rely on their olfactory system for foraging behavior. Odorant-degrading enzymes (ODEs) are essential in preserving the olfactory acuity of aphids by removing redundant odorants in the antennae. Certain enzymes within this group stand out as being enriched and/or biased expressed in the antennae, such as carboxylesterases (CXEs), cytochrome P450 (CYPs), glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), and UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs). Here, we performed a comparative transcriptome analysis of antennae and b… Show more
