Abstract

A first glance on the molecular mechanisms of pheromone-plant odor interactions in moth antennae

Highlights

  • It is widely accepted that odorants emanating from different organic sources are interacting to elicit behaviors in animals, including insects

  • Plant odorants interfere with detection of sex pheromone signals by male Heliothis virescens by Pregitzer, P., Schubert, M., Breer, H., Hansson, B

  • Pregitzer and co-authors confirm the inhibition of sex pheromone responses by certain plant odorants, using in vivo calcium imaging of the antennal lobe, i.e., responses of receptor neurons from the entire antenna in their model, the noctuid moth, Heliothis virescens
