Targeted disruption of a single sex pheromone receptor gene completely abolishes in vivo pheromone response in the silkmoth
Male moths use species-specific sex pheromones to identify and orientate toward conspecific females. Odorant receptors (ORs) for sex pheromone substances have been identified as sex pheromone receptors in various moth species. However, direct in vivo evidence linking the functional role of these ORs...
