Ⅰ. INTRODUCTION Many lepidopteran sex pheromones are biosynthesized from long chain saturated fatty acids by the combined steps of △11 desaturation, chain-shortening, reduction and acetylation. The formation of △5,...Ⅰ. INTRODUCTION Many lepidopteran sex pheromones are biosynthesized from long chain saturated fatty acids by the combined steps of △11 desaturation, chain-shortening, reduction and acetylation. The formation of △5, △7, △9 and All pheromonal components can be explained by these biosynthetic steps. However, the biosynthetic pathway of展开更多
