中文摘要：
化学信息素是昆虫相互交流的重要媒介，在行为调控、社会管理、交尾及发育调控等方面起着重要作用。昆虫信息素的种类繁多，可精确传递各类交流信息，从而保证个体与群体的正常繁衍。那么数百万种昆虫是如何实现化学信息素的多样性，如何精确传达交流信息而互不干扰？正鉴于此，本文详细介绍了昆虫信息素的化学结构、多元组合、功能及生物合成等多样性，并介绍了昆虫嗅觉相关蛋白多样性及其识别机制。
英文摘要：
Insect pheromones are a vital medium for
communication and play an important role in behavior, social interactions, mating and development. There are numerous insect
pheromones which transmit all kinds of information accurately, thereby
enhancing the survival and reproduction of individual insects and colonies.
However, how can millions of insect species produce such a diversity of
pheromones? How can they communicate accurately and avoid interference from the
pheromones of other species? This paper reviews the diversity of pheromone
chemical structures, pheromone combinations, their biological functions and
biosynthesis pathways. The diversity of odor-related proteins and the mechanism
of pheromone recognition are also discussed.
