Bioactivity | Pheromonotropin (Pseudaletia separata) (Pss-PT) is an armyworm (Pseudaletia separata) pheromone with the C-terminal pentapeptide FXPRL-amide. Pheromonotropin (Pseudaletia separata) belongs to the PK/PBAN family and stimulates sex pheromone biosynthesis in moths, mediating feeding (intestinal muscle contraction), development (embryonic diapause, pupal diapause, and pupation), and defense against natural enemy insects wait[1]. |
