Transcription factor Schlank positively regulates odorant-binding protein 9 expression to mediate recognition of two volatiles in Nilaparvata lugens (Stål).

Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are crucial components of the insect olfactory system, serving as the initial step in peripheral olfactory signal transduction. They mediate odorant detection by selectively binding and transporting volatile chemical c…
