Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to identify genes and organs involved in the synthesis of aggregation pheromone in the green-winged stink bug, Plautia stali, we have conducted a reserach focusing on the analysis of juvenile hormone acid methyltransferase-like genes. Eventually, we have identified 7 JHAMT-like genes in this species and found that one of them, L2, is most likely involved in the syntehsis of aggregation pheromone.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究により、これまで不明であったチャバネアオカメムシの集合フェロモンの生合成酵素遺伝子および生合成器官に関する新規な知見が得られた。本種以外にも、カメムシ類やコガネムシ類には類似の構造を持つ集合フェロモンを生産する種が多数おり、本研究は集合フェロモンを利用した新たな農業害虫の防除法開発に貢献する。
