Identification and comparative expression analysis of odorant-binding proteins in the reproductive system and antennae of Athetis dissimilis

Abstract Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are prevalent in the antennal transcriptomes of different orders of insects. Studies on OBPs have focused on their role in the insect chemosensory system, but knowledge of their functions in the insect testis is limited. We sequenced the transcriptomes of the...
