摘要： Hyphantria cunea (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) is difficult and costly to control as a quarantine pest found globally. Sex pheromone trapping is an effective measure for its population monitoring and control; however, the peripheral neural mechanism of sex pheromone recognition in H. cunea remains unclear. An electrophysiological analysis showed that both male and female moths of H. cunea responded to four components of sex pheromones and the responses of male moths were stronger than those of the female moths. We identified three types of trichoid sensilla (ST) responsive to sex pheromones using the single sensillum recording technique. Each type was involved in recognizing 9R, 10S-epoxy-1, Z3, Z6-heneicosatriene (1, Z3, Z6-9S, 10R-epoxy-21Hy). Four peripheral neurons involved in the olfactory encoding of sex pheromones were identified. Four candidate pheromone receptor (PR) genes, HcunPR1a, HcunPR1b, HcunPR3, and HcunPR4, were screened by transcriptome sequencing. All of them were highly expressed in the antennae of males, except for HcunPR4, which was highly expressed in the antennae of females. Functional identification showed that HcunPR1a responded to sex pheromone. Other HcunPRs were not functionally identified. In summary, neurons involved in sex pheromone recognition of H. cunea were located in the ST, and HcunPR1a recognized secondary pheromone components 1, Z3, Z6-9S, 10R-epoxy-21Hy. Interestingly, PRs that recognize the main components of the sex pheromone may be located in an unknown branch of the olfactory receptor and merit further study. Our findings provide a better understanding of the peripheral neural coding mechanism of type II sex pheromones, and HcunPR1a may provide a target for the subsequent development of highly effective and specific biopesticides for H. cunea.
