The evolution of desaturase gene regulation involved in sex pheromone production in leafroller moths of the genus planotortrix.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Albre Jérôme, Steinwender Bernd, Newcomb Richard David

Abstract excerpt

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 express desat5. In this...
