Regulatory role of PBAN in sex pheromone biosynthesis of heliothine moths

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2011
Both males and females of heliothine moths utilize sex pheromones during the mating process. Females produce and release a sex pheromone for the long-range attraction of males for mating.

Identification of an aphid sex pheromone.

, 1987
Although aphids reproduce asexually on their host plants during the summer, many species migrate to a winter host where sexual reproduction occurs. Males of certain species locate mates by means of a sex attractant pheromone released from the hind legs ...

The coordination of cell growth during fission yeast mating requires Ras1-GTP hydrolysis [PDF]

, 2013
The spatial and temporal control of polarity is fundamental to the survival of all organisms. Cells define their polarity using highly conserved mechanisms that frequently rely upon the action of small GTPases, such as Ras and Cdc42.

High-throughput ESI-MS analysis of binding between the Bombyx mori pheromone-binding protein BmorPBP1, its pheromone components and some analogues

, 2009
Chip-assisted high-throughput ESI-MS analysis of the pheromone-binding protein of the silkworm moth Bombyx mori, BmorPBP1, incubated with its pheromone components bombykol, bombykal and analogues was developed.

The effect of the aphid sex pheromone on the aphid Myzus persicae and its parasitoid Aphidius colemani

, 2012
Aphids remain an enormous threat to the sustainability of crops in glasshouse and field environments around the world. It is known that the aphid sex pheromone is used as a kairomone by its natural enemies, such as parasitoids. The focus of this research

Mate recognition and reproductive isolation in the sibling species Spodoptera littoralis and Spodoptera litura

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014
Mate recognition is crucial for reproductive isolation and for maintaining species integrity. Chemosensory-mediated sexual communication with pheromones is an essential component of mate recognition in moths.

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

The Ca2+/CaN/ACC and cAMP/PKA/HK signal pathways are required for PBAN-mediated sex pheromone biosynthesis in Conogethes punctiferalis

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Conogethes punctiferalis is a crop and fruit pest that has caused serious economic losses to agricultural production. This pest relies heavily on its sex pheromone to ensure sexual encounters and subsequent mating success.
