Females of the cowpea weevil, Callosobruchus maculatus, release a male attracting pheromone from the tip of their abdomen. The volatile signal contains five unsaturated, branched C8-acids 208-212 [376,377]. Individual compounds proved to be active while mixtures showed additive effects. Similarly, compounds 208 and 209 have been identified as the female produced sex pheromone of C. subinnotatus [378], while 209 had been described as the sex pheromone of C. analis [379]. However, GC-MS analyses of female produced volatiles of C. analis failed to detect any of the C. maculatus compounds, but did find an unidentified C8-acid with a retention time different from any of the C. maculatus acids [377].

Coumarin (O.T%), ferulic acid (0.1%) and -coumaric acid (5%) were shown to be toxic to the larvae of the bruchid beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus (96).

The evidence for copulation release activity has been demonstrated with several insects Costelytra zealandica Trogoderma glabrum Llmonius canus Tribollum confusum Tenebrlo molitor, and Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) (4). However, erectin of C. chlnensis was the first to be identified, and it is involved only in copulation release activity. 

The crude ether extract significantly inhibited oviposition by the seed beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus (Bruchidae), on legume seeds and exhibited ovicidal and larvicidal action. Ofuya et al. (76). Oluwafemi and Taiwo (77) have recently shown that the toxigenic effects of crystalline aflatoxin B-1 produced by Aspergilus flams in cockerels, can be reversed by administration of alcoholic extract of the seeds ofM. myristica.

Cyclopropenoid fatty acids (Fig. 2.17) inhibit fatty acid desaturation in several species, including chicken, rat, pig, cow, and trout, causing a rise in the stearate to oleate ratio. This may have an effect on the composition and function of membranes as variation in lipid composition is known to alter permeability of membrane systems. Numerous types of deleterious effects from consumption of seed oils with cyclopropenoid fatty acids have been observed (Seigler, 1979). A cyclopropene fatty acid from Sterculia foetida oil was lethal to the larvae of Callosobruchus maculatus at 0.1% in artificial diets (Janzen et al., 1977). The most important edible oil with these compounds is cottonseed oil from Gos-sypium hirsutum (Malvaceae). Much of the cyclopropenoid... 

Homoarginine (L-2-amino-6-guanidinohexanoic acid) (60) (Fig. 13.13) has been isolated from a large number of Lathyrus species. This nonprotein amino acid is toxic when fed to the larval bruchid beetle Callosobruchus maculatus at the 5% level in artificial diets (Rehr et al., 1973b). 

Cyanolipids (Fig. 16.2) have been shown to be toxic in the diet of Callosobruchus maculatus at both the 1% and 5% level they do not appear to be particularly toxic to houseflies. 

Other compounds [e.g., miserotoxin (80)] involve 3-ni-tropropanol moieties. These compounds are poisonous to livestock (Stermitz and Yost, 1978) and to several insects and other animals (Byers et al., 1986). 3-Nitropropionic acid (78) is toxic to the bruchid Callosobruchus maculatus at...

The importance of quinolizidine alkaloids for protection of plants against pathogens and herbivores has been reviewed (Wink, 1988). Incorporation of sparteine (17) sulfate at 0.1% into artificial diets is totally lethal to the larvae of Callosobruchus maculatus (Janzen et al., 1977). 

Castanospermine (36) is a feeding deterrent for aphids and greenbugs (Wink, 1993b). Castanospermine is lethal to the larvae of the bruchid beetle Callosobruchus maculatus and the flour beetle Tribolium confusum at 0.03% and 0.1% in the diet (Fellows et al., 1986).
