Plants as biofactories for production of the aphid sex pheromone nepetalactone. [PDF]

Physiol Plant
Abstract Aphids cause massive agricultural losses through direct damage or as pathogen vectors. Control often relies on insecticides, which are expensive and not selective. An interesting alternative is to use aphid sex pheromones nepetalactone (NON) and nepetalactol (NOL) to interfere with aphid mating or attract aphid predators.
