BdorOBP2 plays an indispensable role in the perception of methyl eugenol by mature males of Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel)

Abstract: Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) is a fruit-eating pest that causes substantial economic damage to the fresh produce industry in tropical and sub-tropical countries. Methyl eugenol (ME) is a powerful attractant for mature males of B. dorsalis, and has been widely used for detecting, luring and eradicating B. dorsalis populations worldwide. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the olfactory perception of ME remains largely unknown. Here, we analyzed the differential proteomics profiling of the antennae betwe… Show more

“…Larvae were then transferred into small plastic boxes containing sand before pupation and pupae were kept at 27 °C ± 1 °C until adults emerged. Adult flies were fed another artificial diet comprising yeast extract and dry sugar mixed at a 1:1 ratio ( w /w) and housed in wooden cages measuring 35 cm by 35 cm by 35 cm [ 43 ].…”

“…Newly emerged males and females were separated and reared at 27 AE 2°C, 60-70% r.h., and L12(1 200 lux):D12 h photoperiod until use. Adults were separated by sex within 4 days of emergence and reared with banana, water, and supplemented with sugar:yeast extract at 1:1 (wt/wt) (Liu et al, 2017). Research revealed that ca.…”

“…In B. dorsalis , males can be strongly attracted to methyl eugenol (ME), but females do not show preference for this odor (Metcalf et al, 1975 ; Liu et al, 2017 ). This behavioral difference may be due to ME serving as a precursor for synthesis of the sex pheromone (Shelly et al, 2010 ; Tan and Nishida, 2012 ).…”

“…Methyl eugenol (ME) is an effective attractant to this insect, which has been widely used together with insecticides for monitoring and managing purposes (Fletcher, 1987 ; Shelly et al, 2004 ; Tan and Nishida, 2012 ). However, ME only attracts adult male flies (Tan and Nishida, 2012 ; Liu et al, 2017 ), limiting its power in monitoring the entire fly population. Additionally, ME is considered as a carcinogen to humans (Smith et al, 2002 ), calling for a need to develop safer and more efficient attractants.…”
