Project: the idea. We came to The Sexy Plant project after many brainstorming meetings including all the team. It would be impossible to define authors here: we all contributed to the design of the project.

Pheromone Biosynthesis. Done by XXX (who mainly ) and XXX (mainly ).

Modelling. Ivan Llopis worked in the FBA modelling to try to obtain estimation of the pheromone production and to try to optimize it. Alejandra Gonzales did the pheromone diffusion and moths response modelling to help decide where and how much sexy plants we should put in the field.

Biosafety. Alba Rubert
