DOI: 10.1002/ps.7571
Abstract: BACKGROUND Mating and oviposition are essential and closely coordinated events in the reproduction of moths. Although tyramine, a biogenic amine, can affect insect reproduction by binding its receptors, the specific regulatory mechanism has not yet… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00438-017-1307-3
Abstract: Species-specific sex pheromone is biosynthesized and released in most female moths as a chemical cue in mating communication. However, information on genes involved in this pathway is limited. The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, is a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.aspen.2016.12.008
Abstract: Abstract Pheromone biosynthesis in the pheromone gland is stimulated by pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide (PBAN) produced in the suboesophageal ganglion. PBAN binds its receptor and transduces biological signal into the molecules for the pheromone biosynthesis.… read more here.
