Sex pheromones serve a critical role in Lepidopterans finding mates. Male moths perceive and react to sex pheromones emitted by conspecific females through a delicate pheromone communication system. Pheromone receptors (PRs) are the key sensory elements at the beginning of that process. The codling moth (Cydia pomnonella) is an important pome fruit pest globally and a serious invasive species in China. Pheromone-based techniques have been used successfully in monitoring and controlling the species. We conducted Ribonucleic Acid sequencing analysis of the codling moth antennal transcriptome and identified 66 odorant receptors (ORs) in a population from Xinjiang province, China; of which 14 were PRs, including two novel PRs (CpomOR2e and CpomOR73). Four PRs that contain full-length open reading frames (CpomOR1, OR2a, OR5, OR7) and four PRs with ligands that have not been reported previously (CpomOR1, OR2a, OR5, OR7) were selected to deorphanize in the heterologous Xenopus Oocyte expression system. Specifically, we found that CpomOR2a and CpomOR5 responded to (E, E)-8, 10-dodecadien-1-yl acetate (codlemone acetate). Furthermore, CpomOR5 (EC50 = 1.379 × 10-8 mol/L) was much more sensitive to codlemone acetate than CpomOR2a (EC50 = 1.663 × 10-6 mol/L). Since codlemone acetate is an important component of C. pomonella sex pheromone, our results improve the current understanding of pheromone communication in codling moths and will be helpful for the development of pest management strategies.
