摘要 A highly sensitive olfactory system allows insects to precisely identify and position volatile compounds from different sources in their habitats, and plays a crucial role in their foraging, mating, and oviposition activities. During evolution, insects have successfully developed a large and complex olfactory system to adapt to heterogeneous environments, enabling the maintenance of inset population. A comprehensive examination of the olfactory system of insects may therefore yield novel insights into the development of innovative pest control and prevention strategies, as well as the study of olfactory mechanisms in vertebrates and even humans. This paper sets out to outline the current state of research into the signal transduction mechanism by which insects perceive the olfactory molecules of their habitats. The aim of this review is to provide a reference point for future studies into the olfactory perception mechanism and its potential applications in pest management.
