The Roles of Gene Duplication, Gene Conversion and Positive Selection in Rodent \u3ci\u3eEsp\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3eMup\u3c/i\u3e Pheromone Gene Families with Comparison to the \u3ci\u3eAbp\u3c/i\u3e Family [PDF]
, 2012 Three proteinaceous pheromone families, the androgen-binding proteins (ABPs), the exocrine-gland secreting peptides (ESPs) and the major urinary proteins (MUPs) are encoded by large gene families in the genomes of Mus musculus and Rattus norvegicus.

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 ...

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 ...

Sex Pheromone Receptors of Lepidopteran Insects
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 The sex pheromone receptors (SPRs) of Lepidopteran insects play important roles in chemical communication. In the sex pheromone detection processes, sex pheromone molecule (SPM), SPR, co-receptor (Orco), pheromone binding protein (PBP), sensory neuron ...

Hexokinase Is Required for Sex Pheromone Biosynthesis in Helicoverpa armigera
Insects, 2021 Acetyl-CoA, the precursor of sex pheromone biosynthesis in Helicoverpa armigera, is generated from glycolysis. As the first speed-limited enzyme in glycolysis, Hexokinase (HK) plays an important role in acetyl-CoA production.

Supplemental Sugar Is Required for Sex Pheromone Biosynthesis in Mythimna separata
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Supplemental nutrients of adult moths maximize moth fitness and contribute to the pollination of many plants. Previous reports have revealed that sugar feeding promotes to sex pheromone biosynthesis by increasing the haemolymph trehalose concentration in

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 In several insects, sex-pheromones are essential for reproduction and reproductive isolation. Pheromones generally elicit stereotyped behaviors. In moths, these are attraction to conspecific sex-pheromone sources and deterrence for heterospecific sex ...

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