In laboratory bioassays, the parasitoidCampoletis sonorensis was attracted to the following sesquiterpenes isolated from cotton essential oil: α-humulene, γ-bisabolene, β-caryophyllene oxide, spathulenol, β-bisabolol, and a new, naturally occurring bisabolene-related alcohol, (2-p-tolyl-6-methylhept-5-en-2-ol) which we name gossonorol. This is the first report of spathulenol in cotton. β-Caryophyllene, a major component of cotton, was not attractive to the parasitoids. The response of the parasitoids to these compounds and the possibility of augmenting parasitoid activity in the field by manipulating plant secondary metabolites is discussed.
在实验室生物测定中，寄生蜂 Campoletis sonorensis 被从棉籽油中分离出来的以下倍半萜类物质所吸引：α-葎草烯、γ-布藜烯、β-石竹烯氧化物、大根香叶醇、β-毕澄茄醇和一种新的天然存在的毕澄茄烯醇相关醇，（2-对甲苯基-6-甲基庚-5-烯-2-醇），我们将其命名为古菰醇。这是棉籽油中首次报道大根香叶醇的存在。β-石竹烯，棉花的主要成分，对寄生蜂没有吸引力。讨论了这些化合物对寄生蜂的反应以及通过操纵植物次生代谢物来增强寄生蜂在田间活动的可能性。
