Characterization of the chemosensory protein gene family from the Eastern spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana
The peripheral sensory system of insects is the first to detect chemical stimuli; it is composed of specialized sensory neurons located within hollow, hair-like sensilla. Chemosensory proteins (CSPs) and odorant binding proteins (OBPs) are small, soluble proteins that transport hydrophobic stimuli a...
