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.

Identification of lipases involved in PBAN stimulated pheromone production in Bombyx mori using the DGE and RNAi approaches. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide (PBAN) is a neurohormone that regulates sex pheromone synthesis in female moths. Bombyx mori is a model organism that has been used to explore the signal transduction pattern of PBAN, which is ...

Identification of genes expressed in the sex pheromone gland of the black cutworm Agrotis ipsilon with putative roles in sex pheromone biosynthesis and transport [PDF]

, 2013
Background One of the challenges in insect chemical ecology is to understand how insect pheromones are synthesised, detected and degraded. Genome wide survey by comparative sequencing and gene specific expression profiling provide rich resources for ...

Dolichodial: a new aphid sex pheromone component? [PDF]

, 2008
The sex pheromones of many aphid species from the subfamily Aphididae comprise a mixture of the iridoids (cyclopentanoids) (1R,4aS,7S,7aR)-nepetalactol and (4aS,7S,7aR)-nepetalactone.

Identification of differentially expressed genes in the pheromone glands of mated and virgin Bombyx mori by digital gene expression profiling. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
BACKGROUND: Mating decreases female receptivity and terminates sex pheromone production in moths. Although significant progress has been made in elucidating the mating-regulated inactivation of pheromone biosynthesis-activating neuropeptide (PBAN ...

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

Aphid sex pheromone components: age-dependent release by females and species-specific male response [PDF]

, 1990
Sex pheromone released by Megoura viciae oviparae was collected and analysed for the quantity and re-lative amounts of each of the two biologically active compo-nents.

Specificity determinants of the silkworm moth sex pheromone. [PDF]

, 2012
The insect olfactory system, particularly the peripheral sensory system for sex pheromone reception in male moths, is highly selective, but specificity determinants at the receptor level are hitherto unknown. Using the Xenopus oocyte recording system, we
