Molecular and Functional Characterization of Odorant Binding Protein 7 From the Oriental Fruit Moth Grapholita molesta (Busck) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are widely and abundantly distributed in the insect sensillar lymph and are essential for insect olfactory processes. The OBPs can capture and transfer odor molecules across the sensillum lymph to odorant receptors and trigger the signal transduction pathway. In this...
