Pheromone production in most moths is regulated by pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptides (PBAN) produced in the subesophageal ganglion. This paper will review the current concepts related to how PBAN stimulates the pheromone biosynthetic pathway at the level of the pheromone gland cell. Da
Pheromone titer in moths is a product of three processes occurring in or at the surface of the pheromone gland: biosynthesis, release, and intraglandular degradation, of pheromone. Changes in titers of sex pheromone, the fatty acyl pheromone analog (FAPA), and tetradecanoate, a pheromone biosyntheti
Biosynthesis of the sex pheromone components, (Z)-5-tetradecenyl acetate (Z5-14:OAc) and (Z)-7-tetradecenyl acetate (Z7-14:OAc), was investigated in the New Zealand tortricid moth Planotortrix excessana (Walker) by fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analysis of base-methanolyzed extracts of lipids in th
