1. Effect of co-expression of Spodoptera olfactory receptors on Drosophila odour perception
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)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

2. Odorant binding protein and olfactory receptors: plausible role as detectors in an odorant biosensor
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)Abstract : The development of an inexpensive, portable, stable, sensitive and selective biosensor for detection of odorants is a daunting task. Here, we hypothesized the development of a detector layer composed of the protein groups; the olfactory receptors (ORs) and the odorant binding proteins (OBPs), known to bind odorants in animal sensing.
