Abstract excerpt
Two internal apple feeders of Grapholita molesta and Grapholita dimorpha share two major sex pheromone components (stereoisomers) and exhibit a similar circadian rhythm of mating behavior. This study aimed to determine the genetic factors diversifying these two congeners with respect to sex pheromone biosynthetic machinery. Transcriptomes of sex pheromone glands in both species were analyzed with a deep...
