The molecular mechanisms of defensive‐grade organic acid biosynthesis in ground beetles [PDF]
Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 593-607, October 2025.Formic acid and methacrylic acid are the primary defensive chemicals in the pygidial gland secretions of Platynus angustatus and Pterostichus moestus, respectively. Comparative transcriptomics suggests the folate cycle and valine catabolism may be involved in the biosynthesis of formic acid and methacrylic acid, respectively.
