A novel terpene synthase controls differences in anti-aphrodisiac pheromone production between closely related Heliconius butterflies
Plants and insects often use the same compounds for chemical communication, but not much is known about the genetics of convergent evolution of chemical signals. The terpene (E)-β-ocimene is a common component of floral scent and is also used by the butterfly Heliconius melpomene as an anti-aphrodis...
