    Notes: Abstract Using reverse transcription polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCR), the DNA sequence for the main membrane-spanning region (IS3 through IVS6) of the gene encoding theα-subunit of thepara sodium channel of the German cockroach,Blattella germanica, has been determined. The overall structure of the open reading frame region of thisB. germanica gene is very similar to that of thepara gene ofDrosophila melanogaster, and that of the partially sequencedpara gene ofMusca domestica. On the other hand, it is distinctly different from that of theDSC gene (Drosophila sodium channel). As a result of a side-by-side comparison of thepara gene sequences of the susceptible CSMA strain and thekdr resistant VT strain ofB. germanica, one mutation (TTG to TTC) at the approximate center of the IIS6 membrane-spanning segment was found to result in an amino acid change from L to F. While the functional meaning of this mutation for the operation of thepara sodium channel remains to be studied, this region is very highly conserved among all sodium channels identified so far, and is one of the most hydrophobic areas of the entireα-subunit. For comparison, we have studied the same region of thepara sodium channel of bothkdr and susceptible SBO strain of the housefly,Musca domestica. We found the homologous type of mutation, CTT to TTT, resulting in the same amino acid alteration (L to F) at this site. However, in the case of houseflies bothkdr and susceptible strains contained both L and F versions of the protein. The ratio of TTT to CTT was significantly higher in thekdr strain ofM. domestica than in the three susceptible strains examined.

    Notes: Abstract The male red pine sawflyNeodiprion nanulus nanulus Schedl responds mainly to the (2S,3S,7S)-3,7-dimethylpentadecan-2-yl acetate (2S,3S,7S-A) in the field. No other isomer is as effective by itself or syner-gizes 2S,3S, 7S-A in this species. ForNeodiprion sertifer (Geoffroy), however, we confirmed our earlier report that males responded significantly to a 5∶0.003 mixture of 2S,3S,7S-A and either 2S,3R,7R-A or 2S,3R,7R/S-A. The 2S,3S,7S-A isomer was separated from 2S,3R,7R-A by capillary gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) analysis using Carbowax 20 M and DB-5 columns. The latter column also separated 2S,3S,7S-A from 2S,3R,7S-A. Only 2S,3S,7S-A was found in the natural pheromones ofN. n. nanulus andN. sertifer by GLC analysis.

    Notes: Abstract The sex pheromones ofNeodiprion pinetum (Norton) andDiprion similis (Hartig) consist of two isomers, 2S,3S,7S and 2S,3R,7R, in either the acetate orpropionate forms of 3,7-dimethylpentadecan-2-ol, respectively. The 2S,3S,7S acetate isomer is utilized byN. pinetum as the major pheromone component and the 2S,3R,7R acetate as a Synergist. ConverselyD. similis utilizes 2S,3R,7R as propionate the major pheromone component and 2S,3S,7S propionate as a Synergist. This was confirmed in the field in both Michigan and Wisconsin. Capillary gas-liquid chromatographie analyses revealed that these two isomers are present in the natural pheromones of both species at the ratios close to those predicted by artificial blending of the two optical isomers.
