Bioassay of pine oil components as attractants for sirex noctilio (hymenoptera: siricidae) using electroantennogram techniques
1976
SIMPSON, R.F.
A study was made of the response to components of pine oils and related compounds of antennae excised from female Sirex noctilio using electroantennogram (EAG) techniques. A response ratio of each compound was obtained after determining the response expected from the same amount of linalool, which was used as a reference material. Correlations were found between activity and chemical structure. Within each chemical class, compounds having a pinane skeleton and unsaturation showed the highest response. Activity differed between the cis- and trans-isomers of the same compound and varied according to the location of substituents with compounds possessing functional groups.
