Genome-wide screening and transcriptional profile analysis of desaturase genes in the European corn borer moth

Acyl-coenzyme A （Acyl-CoA） desaturases play a key role in the biosynthesis of female moth sex pheromones. Desaturase genes are encoded by a large multigene family, and they have been divided into five subgroups on the basis of biochemical functionality and phylogenetic affinity. In this study both c...
