Research Progress on Cis-trans Isomers of Sex Pheromone in Moths
Insect sex pheromone is a trace chemical substance that plays a key role in insect chemical communication.It can interfere with the courtship communication of pests,disrupt their normal reproduction,and thus control the number of pest populations.In this paper,the chemical composition of sex pheromone of moths,the synthesis methods of cis-trans isomers and their application in pest control were reviewed,and the research prospects of cis-trans isomers of sex pheromone of moths were prospected.
