2023 journal article

Lipases and carboxylesterases affect moth sex pheromone compounds involved in interspecific mate recognition

NATURE COMMUNICATIONS, 14(1).

By: A. Fouchier *, E. Fruitet *, R. Lievers*, P. Kuperus*, J. Emerson n, F. Gould n , D. Heckel *, A. Groot*

TL;DR: Together, the results show that lipases and carboxylesterases are involved in tuning Lepidoptera pheromones composition. (via Semantic Scholar)

2014 journal article

Within-population variability in a moth sex pheromone blend: genetic basis and behavioural consequences

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 281(1779), 20133054.

By: A. Groot n, G. Schöfl *, O. Inglis n, S. Donnerhacke*, A. Classen *, A. Schmalz*, R. Santangelo n, J. Emerson n ...

author keywords: Lepidoptera; Heliothis virescens; quantitative trait locus analysis; delta-11-desaturase; balancing selection; heterozygote advantage
MeSH headings : Animals; Genetic Variation; Inbreeding; Insect Proteins / genetics; Insect Proteins / metabolism; Moths / genetics; Moths / metabolism; Moths / physiology; Phenotype; Quantitative Trait Loci; Sex Attractants / chemistry; Sex Attractants / genetics; Sexual Behavior, Animal
TL;DR: A model in which the QTL is a trans-acting repressor of delta-11 desaturase expression explains many features of the data, and selection favouring heterozygotes which produce more unsaturated components could maintain a polymorphism at this locus. (via Semantic Scholar)

2013 journal article

One quantitative trait locus for intra‐ and interspecific variation in a sex pheromone

Molecular Ecology, 22(4), 1065–1080.

By: A. Groot *, H. Staudacher*, A. Barthel*, O. Inglis n, G. Schöfl *, R. Santangelo n, S. Gebauer‐Jung*, H. Vogel * ...

author keywords: acetate; acyltransferase; evolution; moth; premating isolation; RAD tagging
MeSH headings : Acetates / chemistry; Acetyltransferases / genetics; Animals; Female; Genes, Insect; Genetic Variation; Genetics, Population; Male; Mexico; Moths / genetics; North Carolina; Phenotype; Quantitative Trait Loci; Reproductive Isolation; Sex Attractants / chemistry; Sex Attractants / genetics; Transcription Factors / genetics
TL;DR: Finding a single, large QTL that impacts variation in pheromone blends between and within species is the first such example for traits that have been demonstrated to affect premating isolation, and it is currently hypothesize that a transcription factor underlies this QTL.
