Functional conservation of IR75q.2 in the recognition of volatile acids and aldehydes in two Spodoptera species

Ionotropic receptors (IRs) serve as important chemosensory receptors for the perception of diverse ecological volatiles in insects, but their specific functions in Lepidoptera remain largely unexplored. This study systematically compared the ligand recognition profiles and key binding residues of the highly expressed I...
