Abstract
In vivo incubation ofChoristoneura fumiferana with (E)-11-tetradecenal, the major pheromone component, resulted in adsorption followed by transformation to (E)-11-tetradecenoic acid, the only observed metabolite. Antennae, legs, and wings from both sexes were investigated for enzyme activity. Specificity studies with the aldehyde dehydrogenase system showed that the enzyme prefers aldehydes of 14-carbon chain length or shorter.Entities:
