Sex pheromone desaturase functioning in a primitive Ostrinia moth is cryptically conserved in congeners' genomes

(E)-11- and (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate are the most common female sex pheromone components in Ostrinia moths. The Î11-desaturase expressed in the pheromone gland (PG) of female moths is a key enzyme that introduces a double bond into pheromone molecules. A single Î11-desaturase of Ostrinia nubila...

Zusammenfassung:	(E)-11- and (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate are the most common female sex pheromone components in Ostrinia moths. The Î11-desaturase expressed in the pheromone gland (PG) of female moths is a key enzyme that introduces a double bond into pheromone molecules. A single Î11-desaturase of Ostrinia nubilalis, OnubZ/E11, has been shown to produce an
