A cytochrome P450 gene plays a role in the recognition of sex pheromones in the tobacco cutworm, Spodoptera litura

Abstract: Cytochrome P450 (P450 or CYP) genes are involved in fundamental physiological functions, and might be also associated with the olfactory recognition of sex pheromones in beetles and moths. A P450 gene, Spodoptera litura CYP4L4 (SlituCYP4L4), was cloned for the first time from the antennae of S. litura. SlituCYP4L4 was almost exclusively expressed in the adult stage and predominantly expressed in the adult antennae. In situ hybridization showed that SlituCYP4L4 localized mainly at the base of the long sensilla … Show more

“…As the most serious polyphagous insect pest, Spodoptera litura has the characteristics of high fertility, short life cycle, abundant host plants, devastating for many economic crops and widely distributed in the tropical and subtropical Asia (Bano and Muqarab, 2017 ; Feng et al, 2017 ; Kaur et al, 2017 ). Besides, the problems of pest resistance produced by frequent and irrational use of chemical insecticides are also more prominent (Sang et al, 2016 ; Lin et al, 2017 ).…”

“…The sixth clade contained six CYP genes, including CYP3175B1 , 3178A1 , 3640A2 , 4C67 , 380C15 and 3167A7 , which exhibited higher expression levels in antennae. In insects, antenna specific CYPs were responsible for degrading alkaloid pheromones, 49 host volatiles 50 and sex pheromones 51,52 . We speculate that these CYPs may play special roles in mediating the metabolism of environmental chemicals.…”
