ABSTRACT
Pheromonal communication is important in insect mate finding and reproduction. Identifying components of pest insect pheromone system is a first step to disrupt pest insect reproduction. In this study, we identified and cloned the pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide receptor (PBANR) from the Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée) (Lepidoptera Pyralidae), which is one of the most damaging pests of corn and other crops in parts of Asia and Australia. The O. furnacalis PBANR (OstfuPBANR) gene has an ORF of 1,086 bp and encoded 362 amino acids with seven transmembrane domains and had a high sequence identity to known lepidopteran PBANRs. Expression analysis showed that OstfuPBANR was highly expressed in the pheromone glands compared with other tissues, consistent with other studies. Interestingly, OstfuPBANR was expressed higher in the larval stages compared to the pupal or adult stages, suggesting that OstfuPBANR may have broad functions in larva beyond adult pheromone synthesis.
