The Differential Expression of Mevalonate Pathway Genes in the Gut of the Bark Beetle <i>Dendroctonus rhizophagus</i> (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) Is Unrelated to the de Novo Synthesis of Terpenoid Pheromones

The Differential Expression of Mevalonate Pathway Genes in the Gut of the Bark Beetle <i>Dendroctonus rhizophagus</i> (Curculionidae: Scolytinae) Is Unrelated to the de Novo Synthesis of Terpenoid Pheromones

Bark beetles commonly produce de novo terpenoid pheromones using precursors synthesized through the mevalonate pathway. This process is regulated by Juvenile Hormone III (JH III). In this work, the expression levels of mevalonate pathway genes were quantified after phloem feeding&#8212;to induce...
