Abstract
The purpose of our study was to characterize the biological activity of PBAN (Pheromone Biosynthesis Activating Neuropeptide, Raina and Klun, 1984; Raina et al., 1989), and to study its mode of action on the biosynthetic process in the pheromone gland of two moths species: Heliothis peltigera and Chrysodeixis chalcites.
