A male-derived volatile sex pheromone in nematodes identified through its mimicry by a predator

Matthew R. Gronquist, Xuan Wan, Daniel H. W. Leighton, Yuki Togawa, Marika Sagawa, Paul W. Sternberg, Frank C. Schroeder, Ryoji Shinya

The paper identifies methyl 3-methyl-2-butenoate (MMB) as a male-derived volatile sex pheromone in nematodes, showing it is attractive to females and hermaphrodites and mimics a predator's chemical cues.

Cyclohexyl acetate functions like a volatile sex pheromone mimic in Caenorhabditis nematodes

Xuan Wan, Yuki Togawa, Matthew R. Gronquist, Marika Sagawa, Daniel H. W. Leighton, Chung Man Chan, Frank C. Schroeder, King Lau Chow, Paul W. Sternberg, Ryoji Shinya

This study identifies cyclohexyl acetate as a volatile sex pheromone mimic in Caenorhabditis nematodes, showing it acts as a male-specific attractant through a distinct sensory pathway.

O-Acyltransferase Genes Involved in the Production of Volatile Sex Pheromones in Caenorhabditis elegans

Xuan Wan, Sarah M Cohen, Yan Yu, Henry H. Le, Heenam Park, Alessandro Groaz, Rachel Moreno, Minyi Tan, Jessica Schneider, Matthew R. Gronquist, Ryoji Shinya, Frank C. Schroeder, Paul W. Sternberg

The paper identifies four O-acetyltransferase genes in C. elegans essential for synthesizing volatile sex pheromones and reveals their dual role in producing both volatile and non-volatile pheromone components.
