DOI: 10.1002/ps.6924
Abstract: BACKGOUND Sex pheromones of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, show differences in composition and proportions in different geographical populations, but always contain Z9-14:OAc as the major component. Odorant receptor neurons (ORNs) housed in the long… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-24395-z
Abstract: Insects use sex pheromones as a reproductive isolating mechanism to attract conspecifics and repel heterospecifics. Despite the profound knowledge of sex pheromones, little is known about the coevolutionary mechanisms and constraints on their production and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2211254119
Abstract: Iridoid monoterpenes, widely distributed in plants and insects, have many ecological functions. While the biosynthesis of iridoids has been extensively studied in plants, little is known about how insects synthesize these natural products. Here, we… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Insect general odorant-binding proteins (GOBPs) play irreplaceable roles in filtering, binding, and transporting host odorants to olfactory receptors. Grapholita funebrana (Treitscheke) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), an economically important pest of fruit crops, uses fruit volatiles as… read more here.
