Regulatory Role of PBAN in Sex Pheromone Biosynthesis of Heliothine Moths
Both males and females of heliothine moths utilize sex-pheromones during the mating process. Females produce and release a sex pheromone for the long-range attraction of males for mating. Production of sex pheromone in females is controlled by the peptide hormone (pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide, PBAN). This review will highlight what is known about the role PBAN plays in control...
متن کاملRole of neuropeptides in sex pheromone production in moths.
Sex pheromone biosynthesis in many moth species is controlled by a cerebral neuropeptide, termed pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide (PBAN). PBAN is a 33 amino acid C-terminally amidated neuropeptide that is produced by neuroendocrine cells of the subesophageal ganglion (SEG). Studies of the regulation of sex pheromone biosynthesis in moths have revealed that this function can be eli...
متن کاملInnervation and neural regulation of the sex pheromone gland in female Heliothis moths.
Female Heliothis moths normally produce their species-specific male attractant (sex pheromone blend) during scotophase, and this production is stimulated by pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide (PBAN), presumably carried in the hemolymph. Several lines of evidence indicate that the central nervous system plays another critical role in this regulation. Pheromone biosynthesis was induce...
متن کاملPheromone Transduction in Moths
Calling female moths attract their mates late at night with intermittent release of a species-specific sex-pheromone blend. Mean frequency of pheromone filaments encodes distance to the calling female. In their zig-zagging upwind search male moths encounter turbulent pheromone blend filaments at highly variable concentrations and frequencies. The male moth antennae are delicately designed to de...
متن کاملThe evolution of desaturase gene regulation involved in sex pheromone production in leafroller moths of the genus planotortrix.
The evolution of mating systems in leafroller moths involves differential regulation of a desaturase gene that produces distinct sex pheromones. In the genus Planotortrix, female P. octo predominantly emits (Z)-8-tetradecenyl acetate due to the expression of desat5 in their pheromone glands, whereas female P. excessana produces a blend of (Z)-5- and (Z)-7-tetradecenyl acetate and does not expre...
