In vivo treatments of female sex pheromone glands of the processionary moth, Thaurnetopoea pityocampa, with mass-labeled fatty acids showed that ( Z ) -13-hexadecen-11-ynyl acetate, the main sex pheromone component, is biosynthesized from palmitic acid by the combined action of delta-I1 and delta-13

Bombykol [(10E,12Z)-10,12-hexadecadien-1-ol], the sex pheromone of the silkworm moth (Bombyx mori L.), is biosynthesized from hexadecanoate by three successive steps; i.e., D11desaturation, D10,12-desaturation, and reduction of the acyl group. 11,12-Erythro-and 11,12-threo-[7,8,11,12-D 4 ]hexadecano
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
## Abstract Pheromone biosynthesis in the redbanded leafroller moth, __Argyrotaenia velutinana__, was stimulated by homogenates of the bursa copulatrix. Although pheromonotropic activity was also extractable from the ovary, the activity of pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide (PBAN) or bu
