Siminuscula trichodea, responded with the same spike amplitude to both the minor component Zll-16 Ald and to the behavioral antagonist Z9-14 Ac. The two behavioral antagonists of M. brassicae, Z9-14 Ac and Zll-16 OH, are pheromone components of sympatric species in the South of France Agrotis ipsilon (Z9-14 Ac, Zll-16 OH), A. segetum (Z9-14 Ac) mdMythimna unipuncta (Zll-16 OH). Both M. brassicae and M. unipuncta use Zll-16 Ac as the main pheromone component, but the M. unipuncta pheromone contains 2 percent of Zll-16 OH which may ensure the chemical isolation of these two species (Farine etal., 1981). Zll-16 OH inhibits the behavior of male M. brassicae when included at 0.1 percent of the blend (Descoins et al 1978 Struble et al 1980).

The Grpl and Grp2 PBPs have been identified in two closely related noctuid species, Agrotis ipsilon and A. segetum, whose females emit pheromone blends that consist of three main components and minor components that vary locally. The major pheromone component of A. ipsilon is (Z)-ll-hexadecenyl acetate (Zll-16 Ac), while the major pheromone component in A. segetum is (Z)-5-...

Finally the French workers have added a fourth reaction to the crystal toxin the negative. The insects—the black cutworm [Agrotis ipsilon (Hufnagel)], Euxoa segetum Schiff, Mamestra brassicae (L.), and Feridroma (Lycophotia) saucia Hubner—are not susceptible to the B. thuringiensis preparation (6). 

PBAN has been reported to control sex pheromone biosynthesis in many other moth species, and the peptide itself has been found in many Lepidopteran species as well as in other insect orders. Since 1989 the primary sequence of PBAN has been determined in numerous other moth species (Bombyx mori [89], Lymantria dispar [90], Helicoverpa assuita [91], Agrotis ipsilon [92], Mamestra brassicae [93] and Spodoptera littoralis [94] either by sequencing of the purified neuropeptide or from cloned cDNA or gene sequence [95-97].
