A diterpene synthase from the sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis produces the pheromone sobralene
(2024)
Journal Article
The phlebotomine sandfly, Lutzomyia longipalpis, a major vector of the Leishmania parasite, uses terpene pheromones to attract conspecifics for mating. Examination of the L. longipalpis genome revealed a putative terpene synthase (TPS), which—upon he...
