چکیده
Electroantennogram, Electrosensillogram, Optimum Curves, Hysteresis, Temperature Dependence By recording the temperature dependence of electroantennograms with Lepidoptera antennae optimum curves were obtained, and a hysteresis phenomenon was observed by passing tempera ture cycles. The latter also occur with single cell recording (electrosensillogram) in the receptor potentials as well as in the number of action potentials released per second. The results of the measurements are discussed on a molecular level, a scheme reflects the molecular processes which eventually are involved in the interaction of a signal molecule and receptor region.

Functional Characteristics, Electrophysiological and Antennal Immunolocalization of General Odorant-Binding Protein 2 in Tea Geometrid, Ectropis obliqua
As one of the main lepidopteran pests in Chinese tea plantations, Ectropisobliqua Warren (tea geometrids) can severely decrease yields of tea products. The olfactory system of the adult tea geometrid plays a significant role in seeking behaviors, influencing their search for food, mating partners, and even spawning grounds. In this study, a general odorant-binding protein (OBP) gene, EoblGOBP2,...
متن کاملIdentification of Putative Carboxylesterase and Glutathione S-transferase Genes from the Antennae of the Chilo suppressalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
In insects, rapid degradation of odorants in antennae is extremely important for the sensitivity of olfactory receptor neurons. Odorant degradation in insect antennae is mediated by multiple enzymes, especially the carboxylesterases (CXEs) and glutathione S-transferases (GSTs). The Asiatic rice borer, Chilo suppressalis, is an economically important lepidopteran pest which causes great economic...
متن کاملThermo - refractive noise in gravitational wave antennae
Thermodynamical fluctuations of temperature in mirrors of gravitational wave antennae may be transformed into additional noise not only through thermal expansion coefficient [1] but also through temperature dependence of refraction index. The intensity of this noise is comparable with other known noises and must be taken into account in future steps of the antennas.

To better understand the olfactory mechanisms in a lepidopteran pest model species, the cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis, we have recently established a partial transcriptome from adult antennae. Here, we completed this transcriptome using next generation sequencing technologies, namely 454 and Illumina, on both adult antennae and larval tissues, including caterpillar antennae and maxillar...
متن کاملAlternative splicing produces two transcripts encoding female-biased pheromone subfamily receptors in the navel orangeworm, Amyelois transitella
Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are key sensors of environmental odors and members of the lepidopteran pheromone receptor subfamily are thought to play important roles in mate finding by recognizing sex pheromones. Much research has been done to identify putative pheromone receptors in lepidopteran males, but little attention has been given to female counterparts. In this study, degenerate oligo...
