| Abstract | Numerous species of mirid bugs (Hemiptera: Miridae) are phytophagous insect pests that damage economically important field and horticultural crops. In recent years, Adelphocoris suturalis has become a significant pest in transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton fields. We previously reported that virgin A. suturalis females attracted males in the field. In this study, we found that A. suturalis males are not attracted in Y-tube olfactometer bioassays to odors from either live nymphs or sexually mature virgin females whose ostioles of the metathoracic scent gland (MTG) are occluded with paraffin wax. However, males are significantly attracted to odors from adult virgin females when female abdomina are occluded with paraffin, indicating that female A. suturalis release sex pheromones only from the MTG. Volatile extracts from both sexes were collected and analyzed by gas chromatography–electroantennogram detection and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. We identified (E)-4-oxo-2-hexenal (E4O2H), hexyl hexanoate (HH) and hexyl butyrate (HB) as major components and found that they elicited the largest EAD responses from antennae of males. Both E4O2H and HH were present in aeration extracts from females, while E4O2H was found in males. Capture of only males in field tests using synthetic compounds confirmed the activity of the identified sex pheromone candidates. In the field tests, a 10:1 ratio of the E4O2H and HH binary blend exhibited the highest efficiency in attracting male A. suturalis. Addition of HB to the binary pheromone blend to make a ternary blend did not increase trap catches. These results demonstrate that E4O2H and HH constitute the A. suturalis sex pheromone components. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
