Abstract

The volatile compound from oak leaves which stimulates the female polyphemus moth to release her sex pheromone has been isolated and identified as trans-2-hexenal. Although leaves of other food plants contain trans-2-hexenal, they also release masking odors which block the activity of the hexenal.

摘要

从橡树叶中分离出一种挥发性化合物，它能刺激雌性多音天蚕蛾释放性信息素，该化合物已被鉴定为反式-2-己烯醛。虽然其他食用植物的叶子中也含有反式-2-己烯醛，但它们还会释放掩盖气味的物质，从而阻碍己烯醛的活性。
