  • Publication number: 20240002876
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of producing insect pheromone precursors and genetically modified plants capable of producing insect pheromone precursors. The genetically modified plants include a heterologous gene encoding at least one silencing suppressor protein and at least one enzyme selected from the group consisting of a fatty acyl desaturase, a fatty acyl elongase, a fatty acyl reductase, and an acyl-CoA oxidase.

  • Publication number: 20230332096
    Abstract: The present invention relates to pheromone production, desaturated fatty alcohols or aldehydes or acetates using recombinant yeasts expressing acyl-CoA oxidase to shorten fatty acyl-CoA by two carbons, deleting endogenous acyl-CoA oxidase, express desaturase to introduce at least one double bond, acyl-CoA-reductase to convert fatty acyl-CoA into fatty alcohol. Further, acetyltransferase can be used to convert to desaturated acyl fatty acetate, alcohol dehydrogenase or fatty acyl oxidase to convert to desaturated fatty aldehyde.
