The first crop plant genetically engineered to release an insect pheromone for defence [PDF]

, 2015
Insect pheromones offer potential for managing pests of crop plants. Volatility and instability are problems for deployment in agriculture but could be solved by expressing genes for the biosynthesis of pheromones in the crop plants.

Control of ixodid ticks by means of pheromones and acaricidal preparation [PDF]

Caspian Journal of Environmental Sciences
The article describes a method for catching arthropods, i.e., for collecting and counting ticks, and can be used for collecting ixodid ticks in natural biotopes and counting their number.

An inhibitory sex pheromone tastes bitter for Drosophila males. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2007
Sexual behavior requires animals to distinguish between the sexes and to respond appropriately to each of them. In Drosophila melanogaster, as in many insects, cuticular hydrocarbons are thought to be involved in sex recognition and in mating behavior ...

Intercropping oilseed rape with wheat and releasing Harmonia axyridis sex pheromone in Northern China failed to attract and support natural enemies of aphids

Biotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2019
Description of the subject. Increasing plant diversity with flowering plants and releasing semiochemicals did not attract and support natural enemies of insect pests for biological control. Objectives.

Effects of Volatile Emissions of Picea abies Fresh Debris on Ips duplicatus Response to Characteristic Synthetic Pheromone

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2012
Ips duplicatus is an important pest of Norway spruce (Picea abies) planted outside of its natural range. This species uses olfactory signals to identify the spruce trees favourable for colonisation. The knowledge of the beetles’ response to these stimuli

A predicted sex pheromone receptor of codling moth Cydia pomonella detects the plant volatile pear ester

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014
Plant volatiles mediate host discrimination and host finding in phytophagous insects. Understanding how insects recognize these signals is a current challenge in chemical ecology research. Pear ester, ethyl (E,Z)-2,4-decadienoate, is a powerful, bisexual

A female-biased odorant receptor tuned to the lepidopteran sex pheromone in parasitoid Microplitis mediator guiding habitat of host insects

Journal of Advanced Research, 2023
Introduction: The parasitoid wasp Microplitis mediator is an important natural enemy of the turnip moth Agrotis segetum and other Noctuidae pests. In our field observation, it was fortuitously discovered that sex pheromone traps used for A.

Binding of a pheromone analog to AtraPBP1. [PDF]

, 2013
Competitive binding of a pheromone analog, Z11C16COCF3, and the best natural ligand, Z11Z13-16OAc. Both ligands at equimolar concentration were incubated with AtraPBP1 at the same time. AtraPBP1 bound with much higher affinity to the pheromone analog and

Variación en la captura de machos de Neoleucinodes elegantalis Guenée (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) usando feromonas sexuales comerciales en tres hospederos solanáceos

Ciencia y Tecnología Agropecuaria, 2017
Neoleucinodes elegantalis Guenée (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) represents the most damaging pest of the Solanaceae family. Current studies have demonstrated that the species has differentiated into four races according to variations in female genitalia, wing
