Sex Pheromone
Sex Pheromone
Sex pheromone are chemical signals emitted by organisms, widely present in both the plant and animal kingdoms. The production of sex pheromone is regulated by pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide (PBAN). Sex pheromone serve as crucial species recognition signals, capable of attracting conspecifics while inhibiting attraction between heterospecifics. They also function as mate recognition signals within species, playing a vital role in reproductive isolation and speciation processe. In agricultural practice, sex pheromone are extensively utilized in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies, encompassing monitoring of pest populations, large-scale trapping operations, disruption of mating behaviors, and implementation of push-pull tactics to control pest populations[1][2][3].

Heneicosane (Standard)
0 ImagesHeneicosane (Standard) is the analytical standard of Heneicosane (HY-W089845). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Heneicosane is a royal-specific pheromone of insects (such as subterranean termites) and is an identification signal for queens and kings in termites. Heneicosane mediates royal recognition and the maintenance of social division of labor by being sensed by worker ants and triggering vibrations and antennal behaviors. Heneicosane can exert anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic activities by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators (such as prostaglandins and cytokines). At the same time, Heneicosane can also inhibit the mycelial growth of aflatoxin-producing fungi and inhibit the production of aflatoxin. Heneicosane can be used in insect chemical ecology research to analyze the regulatory mechanism of termite social behavior, and is also a potential target for new anti-inflammatory drugs.

Methionol
0 ImagesSynonyms: 3-Hydroxypropyl methyl sulfide; 3-Methylmercapto-1-propanol; 4-Thiapentan-1-ol; gamma-Hydroxypropyl methyl sulfideMethionol is a sulfur-containing flavor compound and also a component of aggregation pheromones produced by males. Methionol exists in fermented coconut milk and wine. Methionol has an odor similar to boiled cabbage, and imparts cauliflower-like off-flavors to wine when its content exceeds the perception threshold. Methionol attracts both male and female adults of Knulliana cincta cincta, and mainly attracts female adults of Elaphidion mucronatum.
