Electrophysiological and Behavioral Responses of Adult Anoplophom glabripennis (Motschulsky) to Volatile Components of Host-Plant

摘要

Electrophysiological and behavioral responses of adult A.glabripennis(Motsch.)to volatiles from ashleaf maple (Acer negundo L.) were investigated to identify semiochemicals involved in host location.Measurable electroantennogram(EAG) responses were elicited to all compounds tested,the most effective antennal stimulants were trans-2-hexen-l-al,decyl aldehyde and trans-2-hexen-1-ol.These profiles were similar between males and females.In Y-tube olfactometer bioassays,above three compounds with certain concentration,trans-2-hexen-1-al(1%),trans-2-hexen-1-ol(1%) and decyl aldehyde(10%),were significantly attractive to the adults in laboratory.The results show that either EAG or olfactory responding to a particular volatile compound are markedly influenced by the concentration.
