Inheritance patterns of female sex pheromone production and male behavioral response were studied in Ostrinia orientalis . Results showed that the production of the female sex pheromone in O. orientalis was mainly controlled by a single autosomal factor, while the male behavioral response was controlled by a sex‐linked major gene.
