Advances in deciphering the genetic basis of insect cuticular hydrocarbon biosynthesis and variation.

Heredity - 1 Feb 2021

Holze Henrietta, Schrader Lukas, Buellesbach Jan

Abstract excerpt

Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) have two fundamental functions in insects. They protect terrestrial insects against desiccation and serve as signaling molecules in a wide variety of chemical communication systems. It has been hypothesized that these pivotal dual traits for adaptation to both desiccation and signaling have contributed to the considerable evolutionary success of insects. CHCs have been extensively...
