Herbst is a destructive stored product pest. The aggregation pheromone of this pest was prepared via a new and effective strategy. The key steps include the ring-opening reaction of chiral 2-methyloxirane, the stereospecific inversion of chiral secondary tosylate, LiCuCl-catalyzed coupling of tosylate with Grignard reagent, and oxidation with RuCl/NaIO

Aggregation-sex pheromones, that attract both sexes, are produced by male cerambycid beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of the subfamilies Cerambycinae, Lamiinae, and Spondylidinae. Here, we present the results of a field experiment conducted at multiple sites in southern Texas, primarily near the border with the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico. At each site, we deployed traps baited with a 6-component blend of known pheromones of cerambycine and lamiine species + an ethanol lure, a 5-component blend of lamiine pheromones + an ethanol lure, an ethanol lure alone, and a solvent control.

The mechanisms used to facilitate mate location among insects-such as pheromones-can inhibit interspecific attraction and confer reproductive isolation. However, pheromone components seem conserved within the genus Monochamus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) with the compound 2-(undecyloxy)ethanol (referred to as monochamol) being identified as the sex-aggregation pheromone or putative pheromone attractant for at least 15 species in this genus. This pheromone parsimony suggests the existence of additional isolating mechanisms.

is an economically important vegetable pest. Because of the growing demand for reducing pesticide use on vegetables, new environmentally friendly strategies for controlling are urgently needed. Insect odorant-binding proteins are prospective targets for screening environmentally friendly odorant attractants for pest control.

Non-clinical enterococci are relatively poorly studied by means of acquired antibiotic resistance to tetracycline and by the distribution, functionality and role of their CRISPR systems. In our study, 72 enterococcal strains, isolated from various non-clinical origins, were investigated for their phenotypic and genotypic ((M), (O), (S), (L), (K), (T) and (W)) tetracycline resistance. The genetic determinants for HGT (MGEs ( and W), inducible pheromones (, and ), aggregation substances (, , and ) and CRISPR-Cas systems were characterized by PCR and whole-genome sequencing.
