Sex Pheromone Components of the Gamma Moth, Autographa gamma (L.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

چکیده
Sex Pheromone Components, Autographa gamma, Z -7-Dodecenyl Acetate, Z-7-Dodecenyl Alcohol Z-7-Dodecenyl acetate and Z-7-dodecenyl alcohol have been identified as sex pheromone components o f female Autographa gamma. This is the first time that Z-7-dodecenyl alcohol has been found in the natural pheromone o f Plusiinae. When incorporated in pheromone traps of some Plusiinae species the alcohol is both synergist and inhibitor, thus being an important factor in sex isolation among sympatric Plusiinae species in Israel.

Interaction of acetic acid and phenylacetaldehyde as attractants for trapping pest species of moths (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).
BACKGROUND Phenylacetaldehyde is a flower volatile and attractant for many nectar-seeking moths. Acetic acid is a microbial fermentation product that is present in insect sweet baits. It is weakly attractive to some moths and other insects, but can be additive or synergistic with other compounds to make more powerful insect lures. RESULTS Acetic acid and phenylacetaldehyde presented together ...

Digestive enzymatic activity and nutritional responses of Autographa gamma (L.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), an important insect pest of sugar beet, on nine sugar beet cultivars (Peritra, Karolina, Paolita, Lenzier, Tiller, Ardabili, Persia, Rozier, and Dorothea) were studied. The highest proteolytic activity of fourth and fifth instar of A. gamma was in larvae fed on cultivar Persia. The highest ...
متن کاملAre odorant-binding proteins involved in odorant discrimination?
Pheromone-sensitive sensilla trichodea of nine moth species belonging to six families and three superfamilies of Lepidoptera were immunolabelled with an antiserum against the pheromone-binding protein of Antheraea polyphemus. Strong immunolabelling of the sensillum lymph was observed in all long sensilla trichodea of A. polyphemus, A. pernyi (Saturniidae), Bombyx mori (Bombycidae) and Manduca s...

The spotted cutworm, Xestia c-nigrum (L.), is highly polyphagous (Tietz 1972) and is a widespread pest of numerous crops in temperate regions of North America, Asia and Europe. It is noteworthy for its early spring damage to leaf and flower buds. The spotted cutworm is a significant pest of several crops in the Yakima Valley of eastern Washington state and causes occasional economic damage to v...
متن کاملSpatial representation of odours in the antennal lobe of the moth Spodoptera littoralis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).
Glomeruli within the antennal lobe (AL) of moths are convergence sites for a large number of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs). The ORNs target single glomeruli. In the male-specific cluster of glomeruli, the macroglomerular complex (MGC), the input is chemotypic in that each glomerulus of the MGC receives information about a specific component of the conspecific female sex pheromone. Little is...
