Identification and Characterization of an Antennae-Specific Glutathione S-Transferase From the Indian Meal Moth [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Insect glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) play essential roles in metabolizing endogenous and exogenous compounds. GSTs that are uniquely expressed in antennae are assumed to function as scavengers of pheromones and host volatiles in the odorant detection

Sperm morph and remating frequency in the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella. [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2018 All Lepidoptera produce two sperm types: normal, nucleated ‘eupyrene’ sperm and anucleate ‘apyrene’ sperm. One hypothesis for the evolution of apyrene sperm suggests that they act to reduce female remating rate. Apyrene sperm require less resources to produce than do eupyrene sperm, and could delay remating by females by acting as a ‘cheap
