Sex pheromone communication in an insect parasitoid, Campoletis chlorideae Uchida

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022
Significance The chemical, behavioral, and molecular dissection of sex pheromone communication in parasitoid wasps has not been reported. Here, we have identified two female-derived sex pheromone components, tetradecanal (14:Ald) and 2-heptadecanone (2 ...

Latest Developments in Insect Sex Pheromone Research and Its Application in Agricultural Pest Management

Insects, 2021
Simple Summary Insect pheromones are specific natural compounds that meet modern pest control requirements, i.e., species-specificity, lack of toxicity to mammals, environmentally benign, and a component for the Integrated Pest Management of agricultural

Targeted disruption of a single sex pheromone receptor gene completely abolishes in vivo pheromone response in the silkmoth [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2015
Male moths use species-specific sex pheromones to identify and orientate toward conspecific females. Odorant receptors (ORs) for sex pheromone substances have been identified as sex pheromone receptors in various moth species.

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

Sex Pheromone of the Papaya Mealybug [PDF]

Journal of Chemical Ecology
Sex 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.

Molecular and neural mechanisms of sex pheromone reception and processing in the silkmoth Bombyx mori

Frontiers in Physiology, 2014
Male moths locate their mates using species-specific sex pheromones emitted by conspecific females. One striking feature of sex pheromone recognition in males is the high degree of specificity and sensitivity at all levels, from the primary sensory ...

Insect pest management with sex pheromone precursors from engineered oilseed plants

Nature Sustainability, 2022
Pheromones have become an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional insecticides for pest control. Most current pheromone-based pest control products target lepidopteran pests of high-value crops, as today’s manufacturing processes cannot yet ...

Large-scale characterization of sex pheromone communication systems in Drosophila

Nature Communications, 2020
Insects use sex pheromones as a reproductive isolating mechanism to attract conspecifics and repel heterospecifics. Despite the profound knowledge of sex pheromones, little is known about the coevolutionary mechanisms and constraints on their production ...

Functional Disparity of Three Pheromone-Binding Proteins to Different Sex Pheromone Components in Hyphantria cunea (Drury).

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2020
Hyphantria cunea (Drury) is a destructive invasive pest species in China that uses type II sex pheromone components. To date, however, the binding mechanisms of its sex pheromone components to their respective pheromone-binding proteins (HcunPBPs 1/2/3 ...

Female-induced increase of host-plant volatiles enhance specific attraction of aphid male Dysaphis plantaginea (Homoptera: Aphididae) to the sex pheromone [PDF]

, 2009
All aphid species studied so far share the same sex pheromone components, nepetalactol and nepetalactone. Variation by different enantiomers and blends of the two components released by different aphid species are limited and can only partially explain ...
