Akers, R. Patrick published the artcileResponse specificity of male olfactory receptor neurons for the major and minor components of a female pheromone blend, Synthetic Route of 16974-11-1, the publication is Physiological Entomology (1991), 16(1), 1-17, database is CAplus.
The sex attractant of the female redbanded leafroller moth, Argyrotaenia velutinana, is a blend of 7 compounds Specialized olfactory receptor neurons had been found for only 2 of the compounds, (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate (Z11-14:Ac) and (E)-11-tetradecenyl acetate (E11-14:Ac). These receptor neurons were always found in pairs within the long trichoid sensilla, which are the most abundant multi-pored sensilla on the male antenna. A systematic survey of all regions of the male antenna with standard extracellular recording techniques was undertaken to find receptor neurons responsive to the remaining 5 minor components of the female pheromone. Of the 113 long trichoid sensilla sampled, all contained 2 receptor neurons, one specialized for Z11-14:Ac and a second specialized for E11-14:Ac. A comparable number of recordings were then obtained from the less abundant classes of multi-pored sensilla. Two new receptor neuron types were found, responsive to the minor pheromone components (E)-9-dodecenyl acetate (E9-12:Ac) and (Z)-9-dodecenyl acetate (Z9-12:Ac). Scanning electron micrographs indicated that these recordings were obtained from shorter, narrower trichoid sensilla. The majority of these sensilla appeared to contain 3 neurons capable of spontaneous action potential production In each sensillum, only one receptor neuron appeared to respond to stimulation with a minor component of the female blend. The remaining 2 neurons did not respond to the chem. stimuli evaluated.
