Figure lb shows the transient absorption spectra of RF (i.e. the difference between the ground singlet and excited triplet states) obtained by laser-flash photolysis using a Nd Yag pulsed laser operating at 355 nm (10 ns pulse width) as excitation source. At short times after the laser pulse, the transient spectrum shows the characteristic absorption of the lowest vibrational triplet state transitions (0 <— 0) and (1 <— 0) at approximately 715 and 660 nm, respectively. In the absence of GA, the initial triplet state decays with a lifetime around 27 ps in deoxygenated solutions by dismutation reaction to form semi oxidized and semi reduced forms with characteristic absorption bands at 360 nm and 500-600 nm and (Melo et al., 1999). However, in the presence of GA, the SRF is efficiently quenched by the gum with a bimolecular rate constant = 1.6x10 M-is-i calculated...

Contrary to the structure similarity of the pheromones secreted by taxonomical related moths, some differences are necessary for their sexual communication systems to play an important role in their reproductive isolation. In addition to further modifications of the various structures, diversity of the lepidopteran sex pheromones is generated by blending multiple components. Innumerable pheromone blends are based not only on combinations of different components but also on variations in the mixing ratio. A pioneer study with Adoxophyes spp. (Tortricidae Tortricinae) had already proposed this concept in the early 1970s. While the smaller tea tortrix (A. honmai) and the Japanese summerfruit tortrix (A. oranafasciata) had been considered to be variant strains with different host preferences in the same species, Tamaki et al. found that females of the former pest insect in the tea garden secreted Z9-14 OAc and Zll-14 OAc in a ratio of 7 4 but females of the latter defoliator of apple trees secreted them in a ratio of 13 4 [127,128]. Furthermore, two other components (Ell-14 OAc and MelO-12 OAc) were subsequently identified from the former species [129].
