Aphidius rhopalosiphi Sitobion avenae Host sex pheromone [attraction, increased parasitization] (4aS,7S,7aR)-Nepetalactone 26 (lR,4aS,7S,7aR)-nepetalactol 27 [76]... 

The antennal olfactory receptor system in several phytophagous insects is very sensitive in the detection of the green odour components. In the Colorado beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata, the threshold of response for trans-2-hexen-1-ol is circa 10b molecules per ml of air (17). In comparison, at 760 mm Hg and 20 C, 1 ml of air contains about 1019 molecules. The insects tested i.e., the migratory locust Locusta migratoria, the carrot fly Psila rosae (18), the cereal aphid Sitobion avenae (19), the Colorado beetle L. decemlineata (17), Leptinotarsa...
