Abstract

In field trapping experiments, 16∶1 and 32∶1 blends of (Z)-9-tetradecen-1-ol formate (Z-9-TDF) and (Z)-9-tetradecenal (Z-9-TDAL) caught as manyHeliothis virescens (F.) as 3 virgin females and virelure, the synthetic pheromone of this species [a 16∶1 mixture of (Z)-11-hexadecenal (Z-11-HDAL) and (Z)-9-tetradecenal]. Z-9-TDF and (Z)-7-dodecen-1-ol formate (Z-7-DDF) are structurally similar to Z-11-HDAL and Z-9-TDAL, respectively. The sensory input elicited by Z-9-TDF appears to substitute for the sensory input of Z-1 1-HDAL. In contrast, Z-7-DDF had no significant effect on catches of maleH. virescens when used alone, in combination with either Z-11-HDAL or Z-9-TDF as a bait in traps, or as a disruptant of pheromone communication via permeation of the atmosphere. Furthermore, Z-9-TDF may be a more stable and economical attractant forH, virescens males than is Z-1 1-HDAL.

Sex pheromone specificity inHeliothis

Heliothis males show pheromone specificity, with H. virescens and BC males responding to synthetic pheromones, while H. subflexa and F1 hybrid males do not.

Response ofHeliothis virescens to pheromonal components and an inhibitor in olfactometers

Heliothis virescens males show a strong attraction to synthetic pheromone, but not to pheromonal components, and this response is reduced by preexposure to these chemicals, likely due to habituation.

Perception of Z-7-dodecen-1-ol and Modification of the Sex Pheromone Response of Male Loopers

Z-7-dodecen-1-ol inhibits male looper orienting to sex pheromone loci, but pheromone perception is not blocked, suggesting a separate sensory neuron for inhibitor perception and a more central integrative process for pheromone modification.

Chemical communication in heliothine moths

Heliothine moths communicate with conspecific females through three distinct receptor types, with Z9-14:FO substituting for Z11-16:AL and Z7-12:FO acting as a weak inhibitor.

Chemical communication in heliothine moths

Heliothine moths communicate with their mates through a complex chemical communication system, with olfactory receptor neurons detecting sex pheromone components and a third pheromone-like compound.

Insect sex pheromones

Half-lives of insect sex pheromones significantly change with temperature and molecular weight, with a 7.5-fold ratio of evaporative loss between homologous compounds differing by two carbon atoms at 20°C.

Insect sex pheromones

Insect sex pheromones have half-lives ranging from 5 days to 1353 days, with polymer cross-links affecting molecular size cages and affecting evaporation rates.
