Sex pheromone production and reproductive behaviour in gamma-irradiated Tenebrio molitor.
Studies to determine the effects of gamma-radiation on sex pheromone production in female Tenebtio molitor showed that irradiation of females either as newly emerged or as pharate adults with 3.5 or 7 krad had no significant effect on their sex pheromone activity when compared to that of normals. However, treatment of irradiated insects with a juvenile hormone analogue increased their pheromone...
متن کاملSex pheromone recognition and characterization of three pheromone-binding proteins in the legume pod borer, Maruca vitrata Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)
Pheromone-binding proteins (PBPs) are essential for the filtering, binding and transporting of sex pheromones across sensillum lymph to membrane-associated pheromone receptors of moths. In this study, three novel PBP genes were expressed in Escherichia coli to examine their involvement in the sex pheromone perception of Maruca vitrata. Fluorescence binding experiments indicated that MvitPBP1-3 ...
متن کاملMating Behavior and Female-produced Pheromone Use in Tropical Sod Webworm (lepidoptera: Crambidae)
Research was initiated to develop a pheromone-based monitoring system for the tropical sod webworm, Herpetogramma phaeopteralis (Guenée). A laboratory rearing procedure was developed to produce individuals for field tests and behavioral bioassays. Virgin females placed in Unitraps in the field attracted and captured males for 8 d, while no males were captured in unbaited traps. Total male captu...
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 کاملPhenotypic plasticity in sex pheromone production in Bicyclus anynana butterflies
Phenotypic plasticity refers to the environmental control of phenotypes. Cues experienced during development (developmental plasticity) or during adulthood (acclimatization) can both affect adult phenotypes. Phenotypic plasticity has been described in many traits but examples of developmental plasticity in physiological traits, in particular, remain scarce. We examined developmental plasticity ...
