1. Comparison of transcript levels between naive and pre-exposed male Spodoptera littoralis antennae.
Comparison of transcript levels between naive and pre-exposed male Spodoptera littoralis antennae. Expression levels of genes encoding candidate pheromone-binding proteins (SlitPBP1, 2, 3), pheromone receptors (SlitPR6, PR16, PR13, PR11), the co-receptor (SlitORco) and a candidate pheromone-degrading enzyme (SlCXE7), as quantified using real-time PCR on male antennae. Data were obtained from triplicate experiments and are given as means ± s.e.m. for naive and pre-exposed S. littoralis males. Expression levels were calculated relative to the expression of rpL8 and are reported relative to the level in naive antennae (100%). *P<0.05 (Mann–Whitney U-test).
