Additional file 1:

Pearson's correlation coefficients of pheromone compounds in glands of A) corn strain females, and B) rice strain females, extracted in scotophase. The tables show positive and negative phenotypic correlations between all pheromone compounds. The colors of the cells coincide with the colors in the proposed biosynthetic pathway of the compounds in Figure 5.

Additional file 2:

Pearson's correlation coefficients of pheromone compounds in glands of A) PBAN-injected corn strain females, and B) PBAN-injected rice strain females. The tables show positive and negative phenotypic correlations between all pheromone compounds. The colors of the cells coincide with the colors in the proposed biosynthetic pathway of the compounds in Figure 5, while the blue cells indicate a strikingly different correlation from that found in other females.

Pearson's correlation coefficients of the pheromone compounds in glands of A) CxR hybrid females, and B) RxC hybrid females. The tables show positive and negative phenotypic correlations between all pheromone compounds. The colors of the cells coincide with the colors in the proposed biosynthetic pathway of the compounds in Figure 5, while the blue cell indicates a strikingly different correlation from that found in other females.
