Table 3 Summary of gene families involved either in pheromone biosynthesis or reception for presence of positive selection and expression bias between antennae in the two sexes and between pheromone gland and antennae in females

From: Differential gene expression in the evolution of sex pheromone communication in New Zealand’s endemic leafroller moths of the genera Ctenopseustis and Planotortrix
