The Sexual Dimorphism in Rectum and Protein Digestion Pathway Influence Sex Pheromone Synthesis in Male Bactrocera Dorsalis. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Sexual dimorphism is a crucial aspect of mating and reproduction in many animals, yet the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In Bactrocera dorsalis, sex pheromones trimethylpyrazine (TMP) and tetramethylpyrazine (TTMP) are specifically synthesized by ...

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 ...

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 ...

Pyruvate Kinase Is Required for Sex Pheromone Biosynthesis in Helicoverpa armigera
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Pyruvate kinase (PYK) is a speed-limited enzyme of glycolysis that catalyzes the formation of pyruvate, and plays an important role in acetyl-CoA synthesis. The acetyl-CoA is the precursor of sex pheromone biosynthesis in Helicoverpa armigera.

A closer look at sex pheromone autodetection in the Oriental fruit moth
Scientific Reports, 2022 Female moths emit sex pheromone to attracts males, and although they are not attracted to their own sex pheromone, they appear to detect it as it affects their behavior.

Cells, 2023 Insect sex pheromones are volatile chemicals that induce mating behavior between conspecific individuals. In moths, sex pheromone biosynthesis is initiated when pheromone biosynthesis-activating neuropeptide (PBAN) synthesized in the suboesophageal ...

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 ...

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 ...
