Pheromone biosynthesis in the pheromone gland is triggered from release of pheromone biosynthesis-activating neuropeptide (PBAN) synthesized in the suboesophageal ganglion. PBAN binds to its receptor on the epithelial cell membrane and activates signal transduction pathways for the pheromone biosynthesis. This study reviews sex pheromone, PBAN and its receptor, and pheromone biosynthesis pathway of Maruca vitrata.
