Functional Characterization of Sex Pheromone Receptors in the Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda)
Insects, 2020 Pheromone receptors (PRs) found in the antennae of male moths play a vital role in the recognition of sex pheromones released by females. The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, is a notorious invasive pest, but its PRs have not been reported. In

Identification and Expression Profiles of Sex Pheromone Biosynthesis and Transport Related Genes in Spodoptera litura. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Although the general pathway of sex pheromone synthesis in moth species has been established, the molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. The common cutworm Spodoptera litura is an important agricultural pest worldwide and causes huge economic ...

Functional Studies of Sex Pheromone Receptors in Asian Corn Borer Ostrinia furnacalis
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 Lepidopteran insects use sex pheromones for sexual communication. Pheromone receptors expressed on peripheral olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) are critical part to detect the sex pheromones. In genus Ostrinia, several pheromone receptors were functional

Sex Pheromone of the Papaya Mealybug. [PDF]
J Chem EcolSex pheromones of mealybugs are reported from more than 20 species and have generally been shown to be monoterpene alcohols esterified with short-chain carboxylic acids. Here, however, we discovered and isolated an alcohol without an acid moiety as a pheromone compound released from adult females of the papaya mealybug, Paracoccus marginatus.

Identification of Candidate Genes Associated with Type-II Sex Pheromone Biosynthesis in the Tea Geometrid (Ectropis obliqua) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae). [PDF]
InsectsEctropis obliqua, a notorious tea pest, produces a Type-II sex pheromone blend for mate communication. This blend contains (Z,Z,Z)-3,6,9-octadecatriene, (Z,Z)-3,9-cis-6,7-epoxy-octadecadiene, and (Z,Z)-3,9-cis-6,7-epoxy-nonadecadiene.
