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

    Kandidat-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Författare :Gabrielle Hipp Marchidan; [2021]
    Nyckelord :mammal olfaction; olfactory epithelium; olfactory receptor cells;

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

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

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Författare :Lovisa Pettersson; [2018]
    Nyckelord :Biology and Life Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

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

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

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

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

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

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

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

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
