Mating Communication Systems of Four Plusiinae Species Distributed in Japan: Identification of the Sex Pheromones and Field Evaluation

摘要: The sex pheromones of four Plusiinae species in the family Noctuidae, Ctenoplusia albostriata (CA), Macdunnoughia purissima (MP), Syngrapha ain (SA), and Diachrysia stenochrysis (DS) were identified by GC-EAD GC-MS analyses. These subsequently evaluated a series field trials different ecological habitats. CA females produced (Z)-5-decenyl acetate (I), (Z)-7-dodecenyl (II), (Z)-7-dodecen-1-ol (III) ratio 2:100:13. While antennae males responded to all three components, neither I nor III was essential capture males. MP II, III, (Z)-5-dodecenyl (IV) 100:80:20, this blend captured most Compounds II also from SA females, mixtures ranging 4:1 2:3 equally attractive DS only one active compound, (Z)-7-decenyl (V), is first as using ω3-compound none ω5-compounds, such which are common components pheromones. Using previously published chemical biosynthetic data, together with finding study, we propose classification
