Comparison and functional analysis of odorant-binding proteins and chemosensory proteins in two closely related thrips species, Frankliniella occidentalis and Frankliniella intonsa (Thysanoptera: Thripidae). Comparison and functional analysis of odorant-binding proteins and chemosensory proteins in two closely related thrips species, Frankliniella occidentalis and Frankliniella intonsa (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)

The antennal transcriptome analysis was performed for F. occidentalis and F. intonsa, and the putative chemosensory genes (OBPs and CSPs) were identified and compared between the two species Overall design: Gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq data for one-day-old adults' antennae of F. occidentalis and F. intonsa
