The oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) is an exceptionally hazardous pest that can cause up to 100% loss. Male annihilation using male attractant methyl eugenol (ME) is the most adopted control measure of this insect. The molecular process underlying this perception of insects remains unexplored. In this study, we focus on gene functionality of odorant‐binding protein 13 (OBP13) in ME perception by knockout using CRISPR/Cas9 mediated embryonic editing through microinjection. The electrophysiological study of mutant flies through electroantennogram has shown highly depressed ME perception and further the genetic‐level mutational confirmation stating that OBP13 is a major OBP involved in ME perception. The molecular docking of OBP13 with ME revealed the predicted key interactions involved, thus providing more scope in targeting gene editing and in engineering ME substitutes.
