Sesquiterpene Induction by the Balsam Woolly Adelgid (Adelges piceae) in Putatively Resistant Fraser Fir (Abies fraseri)

FORESTS, 13(5).

By: A. Thomas n, D. Tilotta n , J. Frampton n & R. Jetton n

author keywords: Fraser fir; Abies fraseri; balsam woolly adelgid; Adelges piceae; terpenoids; resistance
TL;DR: Analysis of artificially infested Fraser fir foliage reveals that increased concentrations of four terpenoid compounds are associated with BWA infestations, and these compounds could serve as effective indicators while screening for BWA resistance in future Christmas tree breeding programs.

Distribution of the Specialist Aphid Uroleucon nigrotuberculatum (Homoptera: Aphididae) in Response to Host Plant Semiochemical Induction by the Gall Fly Eurosta solidaginis (Diptera:Tephritidae)

ENVIRONMENTAL ENTOMOLOGY, 48(5), 1138–1148.

By: A. Thomas n, R. Williams* & R. Swarthout *

author keywords: semiochemical; kairomone; gall; terpenoid
MeSH headings : Animals; Aphids; Diptera; Insecta; Pheromones; Solidago; Tephritidae
TL;DR: Both laboratory and field experiments establish consistent induction of the terpene β-farnesene, and that this compound is a strong positive predictor of U. nigrotuberculatum aphid presence on goldenrod plants along with plant biomass and several other foliar terpenoids.
