Charmillot, P. J. published the artcileThe influence of sex gland components on mating by the summerfruit tortrix moth, Adoxophyes orana, in the laboratory, Formula: C14H26O2, the publication is Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata (1985), 39(3), 233-9, database is CAplus.
Couples of A. orana were isolated for 1 wk in small 1.25 L rearing boxes in the laboratory with sex gland components deposited on rubber caps. At the end of the trails females were dissected and spermatophores counted. Reduction of mating increased with the dose of a mixture of the attractant components Z-9-tetradecenyl acetate [16725-53-4] and Z-11-tetradecenyl acetate [20711-10-8] (9:1), but decreased with increasing d. of 1-5, 10 and 20 couples per box. Each of the attractant components alone produced a mating inhibition equal to the mixture The minor components Z-9-dodecenyl acetate [16974-11-1] and dodecyl acetate [112-66-3] had approx. the same effect as the main components, but tetradecyl acetate [638-59-5] and Z-11-tetradecenyl alc. [34010-15-6] had no effect. Identical trials conducted on a strain of summerfruit moth newly introduced to rearing showed that 10 times less product was needed to achieve the same degree of mating inhibition as with the old strain. With adaptation to laboratory conditions the proportion of unmated females diminished and repeated matings occurred more frequently. To achieve meaningful results one must work with material from regularly renewed rearings, or better with the direct descendants of individuals from orchards. The results are discussed in relation to mating disruption of A. orana in orchards.
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata published new progress about 16974-11-1. 16974-11-1 belongs to esters-buliding-blocks, auxiliary class Aliphatic Chain, name is (Z)-Dodec-9-en-1-yl acetate, and the molecular formula is C14H26O2, Formula: C14H26O2.
