Electroantennogram and Olfactory behavioral responses of <i>Trabala vishnou gigantina</i> (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) to herbivore induced <i>Hippophae rhamnoides</i> leaf volatiles.

ABSTRACT: The moth Trabala vishnou gigantina Yang, 1978 (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae), a leaf-eating pest, had a severe outbreak in the sea buckthorn, Hippophae rhamnoides L. (Elaeagnaceae) plantation in North China. This study aims to investigate the influence of volatiles emitted by T. vishnou gigantina-infested H. rhamnoides on the behavioral responses of T. vishnou gigantina, laying a basis for the development of plant-based elicitors. The chemical basis of herbivore insect host dynamics between these species were investigated, providing information for herbivore insect control methods. After identifying the compounds produced by the differences between healthy and infested plants, six critical volatile compounds were identified to explore their attractions to <
