pheromone gland | In the pheromone glands of virgin females the expression level increased continuously from eclosion to the end of the 1st day when it reaches a plateau without further significant fluctuation up to the 8th day.

physiological function | regulation of DELTA11-desaturase gene expression in the pheromone gland of Mamestra brassicae during pheromonogenesis. The pheromone blend is composed of (11Z)-hexadecenyl acetate (Z11-16Ac) and hexadecyl acetate (16Ac) in a 93:7 ratio, release of pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide (PBAN) regulates the pheromone production in the pheromone gland. In the pheromone glands of virgin females the expression level increased continuously from eclosion to the end of the 1st day when it reaches a plateau without further significant fluctuation up to the 8th day. Pheromonogenesis is regulated via de novo fatty acid synthesis | Mamestra brassicae |
