Airborne Pheromone Quantification in Treated Vineyards with Different Mating Disruption Dispensers against <i>Lobesia botrana</i> by Aitor Gavara, Sandra Vacas, Ismael Navarro, Jaime Primo, Vicente Navarro-Llopis

“…Although both types of dispensers were effective in limiting the damage inflicted by EGVM, they performed differently and provided different airborne pheromone concentration profiles. Results also proved that leaves were able to adsorb and release part of the airborne pheromone acting as subsequent and additional pheromone sources. …”

Effects of Age, Phase Variation and Pheromones on Male Sperm Storage in the Desert Locust, <i>Schistocerca gregaria</i> by Satoshi Hiroyoshi, Takayuki Mitsunaga, Tomoko Ganaha-Kikumura, Gadi V. P. Reddy

“…Moreover, adult males that detected pheromones emitted by mature adult males showed enhanced sperm storage compared with males that received the pheromones emitted from nymphs: The former, adult male pheromones are known to promote sexual maturation of immature adults of both sexes, whereas the latter, nymphal pheromones delay sexual maturation. …”

Aphid alarm pheromone mimicry in transgenic Chrysanthemum morifolium: insights into the potential of (E)-β-farnesene for aphid resistance by Jinjin Li, Hao Hu, Shengjing Ren, Lu Yu, Yuanyuan Luo, Jiawen Li, Tuo Zeng, Manqun Wang, Caiyun Wang

“…(E)-β-Farnesene (EBF) serves as the primary component of the alarm pheromone used by most aphid pest species. Pyrethrum (Tanacetum cinerariifolium) exhibits tissue-specific regulation of EBF accumulation and release, effectively mimicking the aphid alarm signal, deterring aphid attacks while attracting aphid predators. …”
