“…Sulcatone is a possible intermediate, which may be derived from the dioxygenase activity on GGPP (Blomquist et al, 2010; Keeling et al, 2013; Tittiger & Blomquist, 2017). In D. armandi, AACT , HMGS , HMGR , MK , PMK , MPDC , G/FPPS , and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase ( GGPPS ) have been cloned in full length, and the gene accession numbers are shown in Table (Sun et al, 2020; Wang et al, 2020; Yu et al, 2015). Yu et al (2015) and Wang et al (2020) showed that both injected JHIII and feed could increase the expression levels of HMGS , HMGR , G/FPPS , and IDI messenger RNA in both males and females, and cause high transcript levels mostly in the midgut tissue of D. armandi .…”
