“…Except for RferOBP11 with abundant expression in female head and male thorax, RferOBP1-10 showed a relatively higher expression in the antennae suggesting that the OBP genes identified in current study may play an important role in the olfaction (Leal 2013 ). Of them, RferOBP1, RferOBP4, RferOBP8 and RferOBP10 were obviously male biased which may play the same role as pheromone binding proteins and could play a role in odorant perception of certain plant volatiles (Zhang et al 2015 ). RferOBP3 was highly expressed in the legs with near identical expression with the antennae.…”

BackgroundThe red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus, is a lethal pest of the palms. The identification of odorant binding protein (OBP) genes will be helpful for clarifing the mechanism of odorant detection of this pest. By sequencing the full length cDNA library of its antenne, 11 OBP genes (RferOBP1-11) were identified.FindingsThe result showed RferOBP1-7 and RferOBP8-11 belonged to the minus-C and classic family, respectively qPCR revealed that RferOBP1-10 highly transcribed in the antennae, of which RferOBP1, RferOBP4, RferOBP8 and RferOBP10 were obviously male-biased expression. RferOBP7 and RferOBP11 exhibited highly expression in female head and male thorax. RferOBP2, RferOBP5 and RferOBP6 were highly expressed in the female thorax, leg and abdomen respectively.ConclusionsThe results paved the way towards a future understanding of the olfaction in this species.

“…Firstly, odorants penetrate the sensillar lymph through pores, wherein they are recognised and bound by odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) [ 2 – 4 ] or chemosensory proteins (CSPs) [ 5 , 6 ]. Secondly, it was speculated that the OBPs or CSPs were the transporters that transferred odorants through the sensillar lymph to a family of integral membrane protein, the olfactory receptors (ORs), located on the dendrites of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) [ 7 – 10 ]. Additionally, sensory neuron membrane proteins (SNMPs) [ 11 , 12 ] and ionotropic receptors (IRs) [ 2 , 13 – 15 ] have also been proposed to play a role in insect olfaction.…”

BackgroundSince chemosensory genes play key roles in insect behaviour, they can potentially be used as new targets for pest control. The cabbage beetle, Colaphellus bowringi, is a serious insect pest of cruciferous vegetables in China and other Asian countries. However, a systematic identification of the chemosensory genes expressed in the antennae has not been reported.ResultsWe assembled the antennal transcriptome of C. bowringi by using Illumina sequencing technology and identified 104 candidate chemosensory genes by analyzing transcriptomic data, which included transcripts encoding 26 odorant-binding proteins (OBPs), 12 chemosensory proteins (CSPs), four sensory neuron membrane proteins (SNMPs), 43 odorant receptors (ORs), nine ionotropic receptors (IRs), and ten gustatory receptors (GRs). The data obtained are similar to those found in other coleopteran species, suggesting that our approach successfully identified the chemosensory genes of C. bowringi. The expression patterns of 43 OR genes, some of which were predominately found in the antenna or associated with sex-biased expression, were analyzed using quantitative real time RT-PCR (qPCR).ConclusionsOur study revealed that a large number of chemosensory genes are expressed in C. bowringi. These candidate chemosensory genes and their expression profiles in various tissues provide further information on understanding their function in C. bowringi as well as other insects, and identifying potential targets to disrupt the odorant system in C. bowringi so that new methods for pest management can be developed.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12864-015-2236-3) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…The results showed that 11 YsigOR genes (YsigOR2,YsigOR8,YsigOR21,YsigOR31,YsigOR35,YsigOR42,YsigOR48,YsigOR49,YsigOR50,YsigOR59,and YsigOR62) were expressed more in antennae of males than of females, whereas YsigOR19 was expressed more in the latter, indicating sex-specific functions of these genes. The male-dominant expression of ORs may be involved in the recognition of the sex pheromone or in other male-specific behaviors, while female-dominant expression of ORs may be related to oviposition site selection or male-produced courtship pheromone detection (Anderson et al, 2009;Zhang et al, 2014Zhang et al, , 2015b. The sex-specific functions of these ORs need further investigation.…”
