Since the first identification of the silkworm moth sex pheromone in 1959, significant research has been reported on identifying and unravelling the sex pheromone mechanisms of hundreds of insect species. In the past two decades, the number of research studies on new insect pheromones, pheromone biosynthesis, mode of action, peripheral olfactory and neural mechanisms, and their practical applications in Integrated Pest Management has increased dramatically. An interdisciplinary approach that uses the advances and new techniques in analytical chemistry, chemical ecology, neurophysiology, genetics, and evolutionary and molecular biology has helped us to better understand the pheromone perception mechanisms and its practical application in agricultural pest management. In this review, we present the most recent developments in pheromone research and its application in the past two decades.
自1959年首次鉴定出家蚕蛾性信息素以来，已有大量关于数百种昆虫性信息素机制的识别与解析的研究报道。在过去二十年中，关于新型昆虫信息素、信息素生物合成、作用模式、外周嗅觉和神经机制以及它们在害虫综合治理中的实际应用的研究数量急剧增加。一种跨学科方法，利用分析化学、化学生态学、神经生理学、遗传学以及进化与分子生物学的进展和新技术，帮助我们更好地理解信息素感知机制及其在农业害虫管理中的实际应用。在这篇综述中，我们介绍了过去二十年中信息素研究及其应用的最新进展。
