🌱 Why sequence plant pest genomes? 🧬
Reference genomes are powerful tools for studying pest species, especially when larvae are hard to distinguish from harmless relatives.
🦋 ✨ This reference genome is the first and only available for this species!

Egg volatiles of oak silkworm mediate defense against parasitoid wasps
We report that eggs of the oak silkworm (Antheraea pernyi) are associated with a volatile compound, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol (2EH), which effectively repels egg parasitoids. This egg-associated compound act....
