Genetic basis of pheromone-mediated sexual communication in the pink bollworm moth, Pectinophora gossypiella (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)
Long distance sexual communication in the pink bollworm moth, Pectinophora gossypiella, is based on a female-emitted two-component pheromone ((Z,E)- and (Z,Z)-7,11-hexadecadienyl acetate).
