A sex pheromone has been isolated and identified from virgin females of the southern corn rootworm (SCR),Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi Barber. The synthesized compound, 10-methyl-2-tridecanone was shown to be attractive to males of the SCR, and also to males ofD. u. undecimpunctata Mannerheim, the western spotted cucumber beetle (WSCB), and ofD. u. duodecimnotata in Mexico. Males of both the SCR and the WSCB strongly preferred theR over theS enantiomer. The resolved enantiomers were not tested againstD. u. duodecimnotata.
已从南部玉米根萤叶甲(Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi Barber)的处女雌虫中分离和鉴定出一种性信息素。合成化合物 10-甲基-2-十三酮对南部玉米根萤叶甲的雄虫以及西方斑点黄瓜甲虫(Diabrotica u. undecimpunctata Mannerheim)和墨西哥的十二点斑叶甲(Diabrotica u. duodecimnotata)的雄虫均具有吸引力。南部玉米根萤叶甲和西方斑点黄瓜甲虫的雄虫都强烈偏好 R 对映体而不是 S 对映体。未用拆分出的对映体对十二点斑叶甲进行测试。
