Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analyses of Odorant-Binding Proteins in Hoverfly <i>Eupeodes corollae</i>.

ABSTRACT: Chemosensory systems are fundamental for insects to regulate behaviors such as prey detection, oviposition, and pollination. Despite their importance, the molecular mechanisms underlying chemosensation remain poorly understood in many insect groups. Hoverflies (Syrphidae), whose larvae are efficient aphid predators and adults act as pollinators, represent a functionally important but understudied lineage. Building on the genome of Eupeodes corollae that we recently published, we selected this dominant and widespread species as a representative model and performed a genome-wide identification and analysis of odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) to provide a molecular foundation for understanding chemosensory recognition mechanisms. Accordingly, a total of 47 OBPs were identified and class
