Male-Produced Sex Pheromone of Tibraca limbativentris Revisited: Absolute Configurations of Zingiberenol Stereoisomers and their Influence on Chemotaxis Behavior of Conspecific Females.

abstract：:Electroantennogram techniques were used to elucidate antennal olfactory response of male and female boll weevils to a dilution series of grandlure, its components, and some vicinal dimethyl analogs. At higher concentrations, response to the mixture of the two aldehyde components of grandlure was significantly higher t...
