Abstract: BACKGROUND The 24-hour circadian rhythm is considered crucial for insect sexual communication. However, its molecular mechanisms and signalling pathways, especially the roles of the clock gene period (Per), remain largely unclear. The sex pheromone communication… read more here.

Abstract: Sex pheromone communication is an essential component of mate recognition in moths. In this study, we heterologously expressed male-biased pheromone receptors (PRs) of diamondback moths, Plutella xylostella, in Drosophila OR67d neurons and determined their responses… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1744-7917.70093
Abstract: Sex pheromone communication is critical for moth reproduction, relying on olfactory genes such as odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) expressed in the antennae. This study investigates how chlorantraniliprole stress impacts the sex pheromone communication behaviors of male… read more here.
