Abstract:The chemosensory system plays an important role in the
host plants
location. Plagiodera versicolora (Coleoptera:
Chrysomelidae) is a worldwide leaf-eating forest pest that feeds exclusively
on salicaceous trees. There is no function study of odorant binding
proteins (OBPs) in P. versicolora.
In the current study, we found that PverOBP37 has a high expression
in male and female antennae, heads, and legs by quantitative real-time
PCR. The binding properties of PverOBP37 to 18 host plant volatiles
were determined… Show more
