Each of the seven compounds that have been identified from femaleHeliothis virescens sex pheromone glands was examined for its ability to elicit sexual responses from male moths in a flight tunnel. The two compounds initially described as pheromone components, (itZ)-11-hexadecenal and (itZ)-9-tetradecenal, were necessary for behavioral activity to occur. Of the remaining five compounds, hexadecanal was most consistent in elevating behavioral activity of males when it was added to treatments. Live, calling females elicited greater sexual activity from males than did the 7-compound mixture on rubber septa.
从雌性烟夜蛾性信息素腺体中鉴定出的七种化合物,每种都在飞行隧道中检测了其引起雄性飞蛾性反应的能力。最初被描述为信息素成分的两种化合物(顺式-11-十六碳烯醛和(顺式-9-十四碳烯醛)对于行为活动的发生是必要的。在其余的五种化合物中,当添加到处理中时,十六醛最能提高雄性的行为活性。与橡胶隔片上的 7 种化合物混合物相比,活体、鸣叫的雌性会引起雄性更大的性活动。
