Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are crucial mediators in the peripheral olfactory perception of insects, functioning as a link between the external environment and odor receptors. Recent research has revealed their noncanonical role as salivary proteins that mediate plant–herbivore interactions, though the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigates the molecular basis of NlOBP1b, a salivary effector protein in the brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens, BPH)
