Wu, W. -Q. published the artcileElectrophysiological and behavioral evidence for a fourth sex pheromone component in the turnip moth, Agrotis segetum, COA of Formula: C14H26O2, the publication is Physiological Entomology (1995), 20(1), 81-92, database is CAplus.
In addition to the pheromone components (Z)-5-decenyl, (Z)-7-dodecenyl, and (Z)-9-tetradecenyl acetate (Z5-10:OAc, Z7-12:OAc and Z9-14:OAc), it has previously been shown that the sex pheromone gland of the turnip moth, A. segetum contains 10:OAc, 12:OAc, Z5-12:OAc, Z9-12:OAc, 11-12:OAc, Z5-14:OAc, Z7-14:OAc, and Z11-16:OAc. To find out whether any of these addnl. compounds is involved in the sex pheromone communication in A. segetum, a comprehensive electrophysiol. and behavioral investigation was conducted. Single-sensillum recordings on male antennae revealed 3 subtypes of sensilla among the previously so-called Z5-10:OAc sensilla. One subtype was identified having 1 receptor neuron (A) that responded to Z5-10:OAc with a large spike amplitude and another neuron (B) that responded to (Z)-5-decenol (Z5-10:OH) with a small spike amplitude. In another subtype the B neuron responded to Z5-12:OAc and sometimes also to Z7-12:OAc and 10:OAc, in addition to responding to Z5-10:OH. In a 3rd subtype the A neuron responded to all acetates identified from the female pheromone gland, whereas the small spike amplitude neuron was tuned to Z5-10:OH. A flight tunnel assay showed that blends composed of 9, 8, or 7 compounds were equivalent to the previously identified 3-component pheromone blend in eliciting male behavioral responses. In field trapping tests, blends of 11, 9, or 7 compounds did, however, catch significantly more moths than the 3-component blend. Further assays showed that only Z5-12:OAc could significantly increase the catch numbers when added to the 3-component blend, and thus qualified as a 4th pheromone component in A.segetum. The behavioral significance of addnl. female-produced acetates – for which males possess antennal receptors – is suggested, but may be impossible to confirm because of diminishing returns when trying to refine a multicomponent pheromone further.
