1. Olfactory genomics of bark- and ambrosia beetles : Evolution and function of chemoreceptors
Sammanfattning : Insect behaviours, such as host and mate selection, are often mediated by chemical cues. The chemical cuesare detected by large and rapidly evolving families of chemoreceptors which include odorant receptors (ORs),gustatory receptors (GRs) and ionotropic receptors (IRs). LÄS MER
2. Effects of retinoic acid in the mouse olfactory sensory systems
Sammanfattning : A common characteristic in neurodegenerative diseases of the brain is death of specific neuronal populations. The lack of neuron proliferation and axon extension in most parts of the central nervous system leads to chronic loss of neurons in the case of injury or disease. LÄS MER
3. From sequence to function : Comparative studies of insect olfactory receptors
Sammanfattning : In insects airborne odors are detected by the odorant receptors (ORs) and ionotropic receptors (IRs), located on the dendritic membrane of the olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) housed in olfactory sensilla. The OR and IR gene families show high plasticity in lineage expansion and contraction following the birth-and-death evolutionary model. LÄS MER
4. Molecular and functional anatomy of the mouse olfactory epithelium
Sammanfattning : The olfactory system is important for social behaviors, feeding and avoiding predators. Detection of odorous molecules is made by odorant receptors on specialized sensory neurons in the olfactory epithelial sheet. LÄS MER
5. Insights into the Evolution of Moth Pheromone Communication: Lessons from the European Corn Borer
Sammanfattning : Chemical communication by means of sex pheromones is central to the mating systems of a wide range of organisms. Because reproductive isolation is often based on pheromone differences, understanding how pheromones diverge is necessary for a complete comprehension of the speciation process. LÄS MER
