Contributors: A. Sheck n, A. Groot n, C. Ward n, C. Gemeno n, J. Wang  n, C. Brownie n, C. Schal n , F. Gould n 

author keywords: evolution; Lepidoptera; mate recognition; Noctuidae; pheromones; quantitative trait loci; sexual isolation
MeSH headings : Animals; Chromosome Mapping; Crosses, Genetic; DNA / genetics; DNA / isolation & purification; Evolution, Molecular; Female; Genetic Variation; Male; Moths / genetics; Phenotype; Pheromones / genetics
topics (OpenAlex): Plant and animal studies; Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior; Insect Pheromone Research and Control
TL;DR: Genetic crosses between Heliothis virescens and H. subflexa moths were conducted and AFLP marker‐based mapping of backcross families was used to determine which of the 30 autosomes in these moths contained quantitative trait loci controlling the proportion of specific chemical components in the pheromone blends.

author keywords: Heliothis virescens; Heliothis subflexa; multi-component sex pheromone blend; QTL; quantitative trait loci; backcross; AFLP; amplified fragment length polymorphism; phenotype; genotype
MeSH headings : Animal Communication; Animals; Chromosome Mapping; Female; Genomics; Male; Moths / physiology; Pheromones / physiology; Quantitative Trait Loci / genetics; Quantitative Trait Loci / physiology; Sex Attractants / chemistry; Sex Attractants / physiology; Sexual Behavior, Animal / physiology

TL;DR: The introgressed Hv-chromosome 22 into the genomic background of Hs, isolating the chromosome that has a major effect on acetate production and can be tested in behavioral experiments whether the presence of acetates may have been a driving force for a shift in pheromone composition.
