Abstract Conogethes pinicolalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), a major pine pest, possesses a
sensitive olfactory system to locate its host. Pheromone binding proteins (PBPs) and general …

Abstract The mouse Major Urinary Proteins (MUPs) contain a conserved β-barrel structure
with a characteristic central hydrophobic pocket that binds a variety of volatile compounds …

Precise estrus detection in sows is pivotal in increasing the productivity within the pork
industry. Sows in estrus exhibit exclusive behaviors when exposed to either a live boar or …

The olfactory system is capable of detecting and distinguishing thousands of environmental
odorants that play a key role in reproduction, social behaviours including pheromones …

In the present study, a simple and a selective colorimetric method for pheromone detection
to diagnose estrus in cattle was established based on the l-tyrosine functionalized silver …

As the persistent resistance of Staphylococcus aureus to available antibiotics is associated
with high infection incidence, mortality rate and treatment cost, novel antibacterial agents …

In muroid rodents, urine-borne volatile compounds and major urinary proteins (MUPs)
constitute the key male pheromones that shape the sexual attractiveness of males. Here, we …
