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
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
