Differential expression of chemosensory-protein genes in midguts in response to diet of Spodoptera litura

Abstract While it has been well characterized that chemosensory receptors in guts of mammals have great influence on food preference, much remains elusive in insects. Insect chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are soluble proteins that could deliver chemicals to olfactory and gustatory receptors. Recent st...
