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 ...

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 ...

Functional identification of the sex pheromone receptor MsepOR6 in the natural population of Mythimna separata (Walker)

浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2023
In order to further understand the calling behavior of Mythimna separata (Walker) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) and explore the olfactory molecular recognition mechanism of male moths to intra- and inter-specific sex pheromones, the male moths collected by ...

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

Exposure to Conspecific and Heterospecific Sex-Pheromones Modulates Gustatory Habituation in the Moth Agrotis ipsilon

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 ...

Optimization of the sex pheromone-based method for trapping field populations of Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller) in South China

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2021
Despite the identification of the potato tuber moth Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller) sex pheromone, no effective application based on this pheromone has yet been developed and evaluated.

A single sex pheromone receptor determines chemical response specificity of sexual behavior in the silkmoth Bombyx mori. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2011
In insects and other animals, intraspecific communication between individuals of the opposite sex is mediated in part by chemical signals called sex pheromones.

Sex Pheromone Aerosol Devices for Mating Disruption: Challenges for a Brighter Future

Insects, 2019
Pheromone-mediated mating disruption (MD) represents an important tool to manage insect pests in agriculture and forestry. MD relies on the release of synthetic sex pheromones from dispensers in crops, interfering with mate finding and reproduction of a ...

Identification of putative Type-I sex pheromone biosynthesis-related genes expressed in the female pheromone gland of Streltzoviella insularis.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Species-specific sex pheromones play key roles in moth sexual communication. Although the general pathway of Type-I sex pheromone biosynthesis is well established, only a handful of genes encoding enzymes involved in this pathway have been characterized.
