Responses of single olfactory receptor cell to sex pheromones in male moth Paranthrene tabaniformis
Entomologia Sinica 2 (2), 130-135
Abstract: Electrophysiological recording showed two types of pheromone receptor cell in one sensillum trichodeum of the male Paranthrene tabaniformis. Type A receptor cell fired larger nerve impulse to the major pheromone component E₃, Z₁₃,-18:OH; type B receptor cell fired smaller nerve impulse to the candidate compound of minor pheromone component Z₃, Z₁₃-18:Ac. Pheromonal effect should be tested still in field and behavior response. The selective adaptation demonstrated that Z₃, Z₁₃,-18:Ac and E₃, Z₁₃-18: Ac excited the same receptor cell. E₃, Z₁₃-18:Ac was an analog of pheromone.
