Key biosynthetic gene subfamily recruited for pheromone production prior to the extensive radiation of Lepidoptera

BACKGROUND: Moths have evolved highly successful mating systems, relying on species-specific mixtures of sex pheromone components for long-distance mate communication. Acyl-CoA desaturases are key enzymes in the biosynthesis of these compounds and to a large extent they account for the great diversi...
