General Odorant Binding Protein 2 and Odorant Binding Protein 36 facilitate the recognition of adult sex pheromone components by Hyphantria cunea larvae Injection of dsGOBP2 significantly reduced the attraction of H. cunea larvae to sex pheromones, while dsOBP36 alone had no effect. Co-injection of dsGOBP2 and dsOBP36 further decreased larval attract...

These findings indicate that HcunGOBP2 was essential in the fall webworm larval orientation toward adult sex pheromone-containing food sources, while HcunOBP36 had an auxiliary role. #Hyphantria cunea #sex pheromone #OBP #chemical ecology
