“…For example, the high expression of OBP genes in the antennae of Anoplophora glabripennis (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) females suggests that OBP genes may play important roles in identifying host plants or finding volatiles that indicate suitable oviposition sites ( Wang et al 2019b ). OBP genes are highly expressed not only in the antennae but also in the legs, wings, and other parts, indicating that these tissues may also be involved in the host location by female insects ( Li et al 2016 ). Compared with the OBP genes, the CSP genes have similar functions, and CSP proteins allow the antennae to receive chemical signals and then transmit the signals to the ORs.…”

Oviposition-related genes have remained a consistent focus of insect molecular biology. Previous research has gradually clarified our mechanistic understanding of oviposition-related genes, including those related to oviposition-gland-related genes, oogenesis-related genes, oviposition-site-selection-related genes, and genes related to ovulation and hatching. Moreover, some of this research has revealed how the expression of single oviposition-related genes affects the expression of related genes, and more importantly, how individual node genes function to link the expression of upstream and downstream genes. However, the research to date is not sufficient to completely explain the overall interactions among the genes of the insect oviposition system. Through a literature review of a large number of studies, this review provides references for future research on oviposition-related genes in insects and the use of RNAi or CRISPR/Cas9 technology to verify the functions of oviposition-related genes and to prevent and control harmful insects.
