Odorant receptor structures predict the major female sex pheromone component in a moth [PDF]

BMC Biology
Background Species isolation in insects can be ensured by prezygotic barriers, such as species-specific sex pheromone blends that mediate sexual attraction and mate recognition.

Synaptic Inhibition in the Accessory Olfactory Bulb Regulates Pheromone Location Learning and Memory [PDF]

FASEB BioAdvances
Pheromone signaling is pivotal in driving the social and reproductive behaviors of rodents. Learning and memorizing the pheromone locations involve olfactory subsystems. To study the neural basis of this behavior, we trained female heterozygous knockouts

Paving the Way for Plant-Based Bioproduction of (Z)-13-Octadecenoic Moth Pheromone Compounds. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
ABSTRACT Sex pheromones are eco‐friendly agents to control pest insects. Yet, the cost of synthetic pheromone production has restricted their use essentially to high value crops. Plant‐based bioproduction of pheromone compounds offers a promising and sustainable alternative, opening up for the deployment of pheromone‐mediated pest control also in row ...

Pea aphid odorant-binding protein ApisOBP6 discriminates between aphid sex pheromone components, aphid alarm pheromone and a host plant volatile [PDF]

, 2023
Olfactory perception of pheromones in insects involves odorant-binding proteins (OBPs), relatively small proteins (ca.110-240 amino acid residues) that can bind reversibly to behaviourally active olfactory ligands.

Characterisation of Bombyx mori odorant-binding proteins reveals that a general odorant-binding protein discriminates between sex pheromone components [PDF]

, 2009
In many insect species, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to be responsible for the transport of pheromones and other semiochemicals across the sensillum lymph to the olfactory receptors (ORs) within the antennal sensilla.

Physiological state of female and light intensity affect the host-plant selection of carrot psyllid, Trioza apicalis (Hemiptera: Triozidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2008
We have studied the effect of different light gradient regimes on host-plant selection of the carrot psyllid, Trioza apicalis Förster. In both a strong and a weak light gradient, carrot psyllids preferred a carrot leaf placed in higher light intensity ...

Sex pheromone evolution is associated with differential regulation of the same desaturase gene in two genera of leafroller moths. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2012
Chemical signals are prevalent in sexual communication systems. Mate recognition has been extensively studied within the Lepidoptera, where the production and recognition of species-specific sex pheromone signals are typically the defining character ...

A carboxylesterase, Esterase-6, modulates sensory physiological and behavioural response dynamics to pheromone in Drosophila [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Insects respond to the spatial and temporal dynamics of a pheromone plume, which implies not only a strong response to"odor on", but also to"odor off". This requires mechanisms geared toward a fast signal termination.

The influence of evaporated pheromone upon the trapping of the spruce bark beetle - Ips typographus (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) - Short communication

Journal of Forest Science, 2017
This article examines the relative efficacy of releasing a larger pheromone plume volume and the relative efficacy of the number of pheromone dispensers within baited traps in trapping the spruce bark beetle.
