| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Conjugated diene aldehyde 9,11-pentadecadienal was isolated from a hawk moth Dolbina tancrei. Its odd-carbon chain structure is unique as a natural product, therefore the molecular mechanism for biosynthesis is unknown. In this study, chemical analysis of precursors of the sex pheromone in female moth, incorporation experiment of deuterium labeled fatty acid to the precursor and NGS analysis of sex pheromone gland revealed that the sex pheromone component was biosynthesised from a palmitic acid, which existed ubiquitously in the body.
