A number of analogs of the C-terminal hexapeptide of PBAN were prepared and tested in vivo for pheromonotropic activity in Helicoverpa zea. Peptides prepared with longer-chain omega-aminocarboxylic acids (Tyr-6-aminocaproyl-Leu-NH2 and Tyr-7-aminoheptanoyl-NH2) were active at 25 and 2.5 nmol. Acetyl

The control of Spodopfera littoralis sex pheromone biosynthesis has been investigated with synthetic pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide (PBAN) and different labeled tracers using an in vitro isolated gland system. Responsiveness of the glands to PBAN stimulation was impaired by careless
The production of sex pheromone in many moths is regulated by the neuropeptide PBAN (pheromone biosynthesis-activating neuropeptide). Studies in a number of species have shown that pheromone production can be linked to a hemolymph factor and that continuity in the ventral chain of ganglia is not req
