1. 1. Olfactory Epithelium size in Mammals : A structured review

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Author : Gabrielle Hipp Marchidan; [2021]
   Keywords : mammal olfaction; olfactory epithelium; olfactory receptor cells;

   Abstract : Members of the class Mammalia have the most advanced skeletal complexity of the nasal cavity among vertebrates. Most mammals have an olfactory epithelium that consists of basal cells, supporting cells and olfactory sensory neurons that bind odor molecules with their cilia. The olfactory epithelium is responsible for detecting odor stimuli. READ MORE

3. 2. The role of odor receptor protein Or22a in Drosophila melanogaster oviposition and the response spectra of chimeric receptor protein Or22a-b

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

   Author : Lovisa Pettersson; [2018]
   Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has a well-studied olfactory system. A crucial part of the olfactory system is the olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs). One type of these OSNs, Ab3a, expresses the Odor receptors (ORs) Or22a and Or22b. READ MORE

4. 3. Effect of co-expression of Spodoptera olfactory receptors on Drosophila odour perception

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

   Author : Hayder Muhammad Awais; [2014]
   Keywords : co-expression; Drosophila melanogaster; Spodoptera littoralis; olfaction; olfactory receptor proteins; olfactory sensory neuron;

   Abstract : Like humans, other animals are also able to smell and differentiate a large number of odours with great accuracy. Chemosensory signals play a vital role in locating host plants by insects. Drosophila has a well-developed olfactory system which can differentiate between different odours and recognize food, oviposition sites and potential mates. READ MORE

5. 4. Identification of olfactory receptor neurons in twoSpecies of scarab beetles: a comparative study bymeans of single sensillum recording

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

   Author : Hamida Khbaish; [2010]
   Keywords : olfaction; electrophysiology; scarab beetles; Pachnoda marginata; Pachnoda interrupta; single sensillum recording; olfactory receptor neurons;

   Abstract : Few studies have addressed how olfactory systems may be adapted to different odour environments. I have performed the largest study to date, comparing olfactory receptor neurons in the two congeneric species of scarab beetle, P. marginata and P. interrupta. READ MORE
