Drosophila suzukii is an emergent pest in Western countries that is seriously challenging soft fruit production. New and environmentally friendly control strategies are urgently needed to control the menace, and methods based in odor-guided behaviors may be promising. To this purpose, a comprehensive understanding of the genetics components underlying chemosensory perception is fundamental. Here, we present antennal transcriptome databases for both D. suzukii males and females. We then used these resources to identify genes involved in olfaction (chemosensory receptors and odorant binding proteins) whose expression is biased in one of the two sexes. Our data contribute to understand olfactory perception in D. suzukii and lay the foundation for a broader understanding of stimuli that may drive female oviposition behavior
