“…This important factor for their reproductive isolation proposes one cue toward understanding their evolutional relationships. While the 12-monoenyl components produced only in O. furnacalis suggest the occurrence of a specific desaturation enzyme specific to this species, two genes 70 T. Ando et al and Autographa gamma [140], B: Anadevidia peponis and Ctenoplusia albostriata [141], C: Macdunnoughia confusa [141], D: Autographa nigrisigna [142] and Macdunnoughia purissima [141] E: Chrysodeixis eriosoma [143] and Crenoplusia agnata [144], F: Thysanopluia intermixta and Thysanopluia orichalcea [41], G: Diachrysia chrysitis [145], and H: Plusia festucae [146] of a D11-desaturase for the 11-monoenes and of a D14-desaturase for the 12-monoenes have recently been characterized from both O. furnacalis and O. nubilalis, indicating that the two enzymes of these species utilize different transcriptional mechanisms [139]. Another example of the diversity is observed among the insects in Plusiinae, which is a well assembled subfamily in Noctuidae and includes 400 species across the world.…”

As a consequence of the diversity of Lepidoptera, including 150,000 described species, interesting species-specific sex pheromone systems are exhibited in this insect group. The quite varied pheromones, which have been identified from female moths of nearly 530 species from around the world, are classified into groups of Type I (75%), Type II (15%), and miscellaneous (10%), according to their chemical structures. Additionally, many pheromones produced by male moths and butterflies have been known. While new sex pheromones from about 70 lepidopteran species have been reported in the last five years utilizing GC-EAD, GC-MS, LC, and NMR, our information about the pheromones is still rudimentary, and these kinds of semiochemicals remain an exciting research target for natural product chemistry. In addition to the overview of their chemical structures, this chapter deals with current methods for their identification. Furthermore, an actual application of the synthetic pheromones for pest control is briefly introduced.

“…The sex pheromone of A. nigrisigna has been identified (Sugie et al 1991), and communication disruption in the adult A. nigrisigna by use of the synthetic sex pheromone has been effectively applied in cabbage fields (Koyama et al 1995;Ichikawa et al 2002); however, communication disruption has limiting factors, i.e., the need for wide-area establishment of the pheromone formulation, to avoid pest infestation by migration of mated females (Cardé and Minks 1995;Nomura and Hashiyama 2010), and the need for application of supplemental insecticides in areas of high pest density (Welter et al 2005). The seasonal prevalence of A. nigrisigna overlaps with that of other major noctuid pests, for example Mamestra brassicae (L.) and Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner), in the cabbage field (Hirata 1963;Ichikawa et al 2002), so it is important to develop effective biological control agents available for simultaneous management of A. nigrisigna and other pests.…”

The insecticidal effect of Mamestra brassicae nucleopolyhedrovirus (MabrNPV) and the enhancing activity of proteins derived from occlusion bodies (OBs) of Xestia c-nigrum granulovirus (GVPs) on the infectivity of MabrNPV were evaluated in a bioassay with second-instar larvae of Autographa nigrisigna (Walker) fed virus-applied cabbage plants. The lethal concentrations of MabrNPV achieving 50 and 95% mortality for A. nigrisigna were estimated to be 1.4 9 10 5 and 3.1 9 10 6 OBs/ml, respectively. When larvae were fed cabbage plants treated with MabrNPV and various concentrations of GVPs, the requisite concentration of GVPs achieving 95% mortality of A. nigrisigna was estimated to be 26.2-138.8 lg/ml in combination with 10 4 OBs/ml MabrNPV and 8.46-24.09 lg/ml with 10 5 OBs/ml MabrNPV. Increases in the concentration of MabrNPV or GVPs caused larval death at younger instars. A. nigrisigna has lower susceptibility to MabrNPV than M. brassicae and Helicoverpa armigera reported in Mukawa and Goto (J Econ Entomol 103:257-264, 2010). We estimated that the requisite concentration of MabrNPV for the control of A. nigrisigna was 10 5 OBs/ml, which is a tenfold higher concentration than that for M. brassicae and H. armigera, with the increase achieved by adding 10 lg/ml GVPs.

Identification of female sex pheromone components of rice looper,Plusia festucae (L.), (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

et al. 1995

The rice looper,Plusia festucae, is a defoliator of the rice plant. Chromatographic behavior, chemical reactions, and GC-MS analyses of the female sex pheromone revealed that the main component was (Z)-5-dodecenyl acetate (Z5-12: OAc, component I). The GC-MS analysis also indicated that the pheromone gland extract included another three monounsaturated components, (Z)-5-dodecen-l-ol (Z5-12: OH, component II), (Z)-7-tetradecenyl acetate (Z7-14: OAc, component III), and (Z)-7-tetradecen-l-ol (Z7-14: OH, component IV) in the following ratio: I:II:III:IV=100:6:15:1. In a paddy field, the mixture of synthetic I, II, and III in a ratio of 100:6:15 showed stronger attractancy than the virgin female, while the role of IV was unknown.
