Niemann–Pick <scp>C2</scp> proteins play crucial role in perception of plant volatiles in <scp> <i>Tetranychus cinnabarinus</i> </scp>
Mite olfactory responses to a number of odorants were widely documented. NPC2-2 and NPC2-3 proteins play critical roles in the olfactory detection of geranylacetone and farnesol, respectively. This study enhances our understanding of the peripheral olfactory processes in herbivorous mites, offering insights for the development of behavior-targeting agents for mite control. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
