AspiOBP1 and AspiOBP2 showed differential transcriptional regulation in response to host volatiles, impacting pest behavior.
Significant binding affinity for AspiOBP1 to specific volatiles was established, with implications for insect attraction and repulsion.
Functional assays indicate that interference with AspiOBP1 and AspiOBP2 reduces behavioral attraction to key volatiles, representing a potential control mechanism.
The findings highlight critical binding mechanisms that may guide future development of targeted insecticides and RNA-based pesticides.
