- W2913723743 abstract "Abstract Plant volatile detection through olfaction plays a crucial role in insect behaviors. In vivo , the odorant receptor co-receptor orco is an obligatory component for the function of odorant receptors (ORs), a major receptor family involved in insect olfaction. We used CRISPR-Cas9 targeted mutagenesis to knock-out (KO) orco in a neurophysiological model species, the hawkmoth Manduca sexta. M. sexta and its host, the Sacred Datura ( Datura wrightii ) share a model insect-plant relationship based on mutualistic and antagonistic life history traits. D. wrightii is the innately preferred nectar-source and oviposition host for M. sexta . Hence, the hawkmoth is an important pollinator while the M. sexta larvae are specialized herbivores of the plant. We generated an orco KO through CRISPR-Cas9 to test the consequences of a loss of OR-mediated olfaction in this insect-plant relationship. Neurophysiological characterization revealed severely reduced antennal and antennal lobe responses to representative odorants emitted by D. wrightii . In a wind-tunnel setting with a flowering plant, orco KO hawkmoths showed disrupted flight orientation and an ablated proboscis extension response to the natural stimulus. However, when testing the oviposition behavior of mated females encountering a non-flowering plant, there was no difference between orco KO and wild type females regarding upwind flight orientation and number of eggs laid. Overall, OR-mediated olfaction is essential for foraging and pollination behaviors, but plant-seeking and oviposition behaviors appear largely unaffected. Significance statement Insects detect plant volatiles mainly through the expression of ORs and IRs on the antennal olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs). In vivo, Orco is an obligate partner for OR, but not IR function and ORs mediate a vast spectrum of olfactory perception. We applied CRISPR-Cas9 in M. sexta to mutate the orco gene and determine the physiological and behavioral implication of a loss of Orco receptor function in a semi-ecological interaction with D. wrightii. We found that while behaviors related to foraging were largely disrupted, other sensory modalities outside Orco function determine the relationship between an ovipositing female and its plant host. These results have implications toward understanding the olfactory basis of insect-plant interactions shaping our ecological and agricultural landscapes." @default.
