Comparative Genomics Provide Insights Into Function and Evolution of Odorant Binding Proteins in Cydia pomonella

Insect olfaction is vital for foraging, mating, host-seeking, and avoidance of predators/pathogens. In insects, odorant binding proteins (OBPs) are involved in transporting hydrophobic odor molecules from the external environment to receptor neurons. The codling moth, Cydia pomonella, one of the mos...
