Journal ArticleDOI
Purification, Identification, Concentration and Bioactivity of (Z)-7-Dodecen-1-yl Acetate: Sex Pheromone of the Female Asian Elephant, Elephas maximus
TL;DR: The remarkable convergent evolution of this compound suggests that compounds identified in mammalian exudates that are also present in pheromone blends of insects should be re-evaluated as potential mammalian chemosignals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discovery of the Aggregation Pheromone of the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (Halyomorpha halys) through the Creation of Stereoisomeric Libraries of 1‑Bisabolen-3-ols
Ashot Khrimian,Aijun Zhang,Donald C. Weber,Hsiao-Yung Ho,Jeffrey R. Aldrich,Karl E. Vermillion,Maxime A. Siegler,Shyam Shirali,Filadelfo Guzman,Tracy C. Leskey +9 more
TL;DR: A novel and straightforward route to all stereoisomers of 1,10-bisaboladien-3-ol and 10,11-epoxy-1-bisabolen- 3-ol via the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric addition of trimethylaluminum to diastereomeric mixtures of cyclohex-2-enones 1 and 2 is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of a new blend of apple volatiles attractive to the apple maggot: Rhagoletis pomonella
Aijun Zhang,Aijun Zhang,Charles E. Linn,Starker E. Wright,Ronald J. Prokopy,William Reissig,Wendell L. Roelofs +6 more
TL;DR: A five-component blend of volatiles from apples as the key attractants for the apple maggot fly, Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh) as mentioned in this paper was used to identify a new blend.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gut bacteria mediate aggregation in the German cockroach
TL;DR: The results indicate that the commensal gut microbiota contributes to production of VCAs that act as fecal aggregation agents and that cockroaches discriminate among the complex odors that emanate from a diverse microbial community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of host fruit volatiles from hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) attractive to hawthorn-origin Rhagoletis pomonella flies
Satoshi Nojima,Charles E. Linn,Bruce D. Morris,Bruce D. Morris,Aijun Zhang,Wendell L. Roelofs +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, solid phase microextraction (SPME) and gas chromatography coupled with electroantennographic detection (GC-EAD) were used to identify volatile compounds from hawthorn fruit (Crataegus spp.) acting as behavioral attractants for rhagoletis pomonella flies.
