title = "Pheromone receptor system in the females of the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella",
abstract = "Electroantennogram studies of female Galleria mellonella showed a two-acceptor system for the sex pheromones, n-nonanal and n-undecanal, produced by the male. The nine carbon pheromone reacts with both acceptors, however, n-undecanal only reacts with the acceptor for the eleven carbon pheromone.",

note = "Funding Information: Adult male G. &lonellu used in the investigation were obtained from cultures using methods described elsewhere (R~~LLEI~rt al.. 1968). Olfactory perception was measured w.th the electroantennogram (EAG) technique (SCHNEIDER, 1957; modified by PAYNE et ~1..1 970; PAYNE, : 975). The intensity of the EAG was taken as a measure of the relative number of responding receptor cells (PAYNE, 1975). EAGs were recorded with Ag-AgCl capillary electrodes filled with 3MKCl. Stimulus odors were delivered over the preparations via a 3-way solenoid operated air valve. Each stimulus was placed on filter paper inserted in a glass cartridge. The cartridge was then attached to the outlet * Texas Agricultllral Experiment Station Paper No. 13244.
