    About this ebook

    Insect Pheromone Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Second Edition, provides an updated and comprehensive review of the biochemistry and molecular biology of insect pheromone biosynthesis and reception. The book ties together historical information with recent discoveries, provides the reader with the current state of the field, and suggests where future research is headed. Written by international experts, many of whom pioneered studies on insect pheromone production and reception, this release updates the 2003 first edition with an emphasis on recent advances in the field. This book will be an important resource for entomologists and molecular biologists studying all areas of insect communication.
    • Offers a historical and contemporary perspective, with a focus on advances over the last 15 years
    • Discusses the molecular and regulatory mechanisms underlying pheromone production/detection, as well as the evolution of these processes across the insects
    • Led by editors with broad expertise in the metabolic pathways of pheromone production and the biochemical and genetic processes of pheromone detection

      Malaria Parasite Packs Bags To Travel From Host To Host

      Mar 1, 2018

      The parasite that causes malaria has not one, but two, specialized proteins that protect its messenger RNA—genetic material that encodes for proteins—until the parasite takes up residence in a new mosquito or a human host, researchers report. A new s
