1. 1. 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

3. 2. Odorant binding protein and olfactory receptors: plausible role as detectors in an odorant biosensor

   Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

   Författare :Linda Bengtsson; [2011]
   Nyckelord :odorant binding protein; olfaction; olfactory receptor; secretion; signal sequence;

   Sammanfattning : 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.
