Abstract:The moth Eogystia hippophaecolus (Hua et al.) is a major threat to sea buckthorn plantations in China. Specific and highly efficient artificial sex pheromone traps have been developed and used to control this pest species. However, the biosynthesis of sex pheromones Z7-14:Ac and E3-14:Ac remains poorly understood.Results We investigated the female pheromone gland transcriptome of E. hippophaecolus and identified two pheromone biosynthesis-activating neuropeptides (PBANs), two pheromone biosynthesis-activating … Show more
