Abstract
⺠Plant volatiles provide host recognition cues to insects. ⺠The olfactory system gives fine scale spatio-temporal resolution of these signals. ⺠Olfactory receptor neurons have high sensitivity and specificity to volatiles at physiologically relevant concentrations. ⺠Behavioural activity depends on perception of blends. ⺠Blends can elicit different behavioural responses compared to individual compounds.
