Biological Sciences Theses & Dissertations
The Rocky Mountain wood tick, Dermacentor andersoni Stiles, injected with (u-14c) sodium acetate or DL-(benzene ring-u-14c) tryptophan for in vivo studies, was found to produce sex pheromone, 2,6-dichlorophenol, containing 14c activity. Ambiguous results were obtained with L-(u- 14c) tyrosine, and no incorporation of 14c label into pheromone was observed with DL-(ring-u- 14c) phenylalanine or DL-(side chain-3-14c) tyrosine. Attempts were made to determine the site of synthesis, but in vitro studies proved inconclusive.
Disruption of sex pheromone activity in D. andersoni and the American dog tick, D. variabilis (Say) was achieved …
