Insects detect and discriminate a diverse array of chemicals using odorant receptors (ORs), which are ligand-gated ion channels comprising divergent odorant-sensing OR conserved receptor co-receptor (Orco). In this work, we report structures the
Sex pheromones play crucial role in mating behavior of moths, involving intricate recognition mechanisms. While insect chemical biology has extensively studied type I pheromones, II remain largely unexplored. This study focused on Helicoverpa armigera, a representative species noctuid moth, aiming to reassess its sex pheromone composition. Our research unveiled two previously unidentified candidate pheromones-3Z,6Z,9Z-21:H and 3Z,6Z,9Z-23:H-in H. armigera. Furthermore, we identified HarmOR11...

Mating behavior is essential for sexual reproduction, and it often modulated by key chemical cues. In many moth species, males find compatible mates through the reception of sex pheromones which are released females. Pheromone receptors (PRs) elements in sensing these signals. Concurrently, male moths emit a complex blend volatile compounds during courtship; however, mechanisms recognizing putative remain poorly understood. Here, we employed gas chromatography coupled with...
