| Course description |
|
Insects possess sophisticated olfactory systems among living animals, and utilize odor and pheromone information for various activities such as feeding, mating, and oviposition. Thus, understanding of olfactory reception mechanisms of insects and utilizing them make it possible to develop olfactory-based insect control technologies as well as high performance biosensors for odors. In this lecture, olfactory reception mechanisms of insects, with a focus on moth species, and applied researches based on insect olfactory systems will be presented. This subject is positioned as Frontier subject of in Department of Biological Production. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Students are expected to learn the mechanisms underlying “odor” and “pheromone” reception in insects and will be able to discuss about the methods to control insect behavior and the biosensor technology based on their reception mechanism.
