Homeotic Protein Distal-Less Regulates NlObp8 and NlCsp10 to Impact the Recognition of Linalool in the Brown Planthopper Nilaparvata lugens

expression downregulated the expression of many additional olfactory functional genes and impaired the repellent behavior of BPHs to linalool. Our findings elucidate the direct regulatory role of Dll in BPHs' olfactory plasticity to linalool through modulating the olfactory functional gene expression and could provide guidance to sustainably control BPHs in the field.
