Nitrogen Containing Volatile Organic Compounds
DIPLOMARBEIT Titel der Diplomarbeit Nitrogen containing Volatile Organic Compounds Verfasserin Olena Bigler angestrebter akademischer Grad Magistra der Pharmazie (Mag.pharm.) Wien, 2012 Studienkennzahl lt. Studienblatt: A 996 Studienrichtung lt. Studienblatt: Pharmazie Betreuer: Univ. Prof. Mag. Dr. Gerhard Buchbauer Danksagung Vor allem lieben herzlichen Dank an meinen gütigen, optimistischen, nicht-aus-der-Ruhe-zu-bringenden Betreuer Herrn Univ. Prof. Mag. Dr. Gerhard Buchbauer ohne dessen freundlichen, fundierten Hinweisen und Ratschlägen diese Arbeit wohl niemals in der vorliegenden Form zustande gekommen wäre. Nochmals Danke, Danke, Danke. Weiteres danke ich meinen Eltern, die sich alles vom Munde abgespart haben, um mir dieses Studium der Pharmazie erst zu ermöglichen, und deren unerschütterlicher Glaube an die Fähigkeiten ihrer Tochter, mich auch dann weitermachen ließ, wenn ich mal alles hinschmeissen wollte. Auch meiner Schwester Ira gebührt Dank, auch sie war mir immer eine Stütze und Hilfe, und immer war sie da, für einen guten Rat und ein offenes Ohr. Dank auch an meinen Sohn Igor, der mit viel Verständnis akzeptierte, dass in dieser Zeit meine Prioritäten an meiner Diplomarbeit waren, und mein Zeitbudget auch für ihn eingeschränkt war. Schliesslich last, but not least - Dank auch an meinen Mann Joseph, der mich auch dann ertragen hat, wenn ich eigentlich unerträglich war. 2 Abstract This review presents a general analysis of the scienthr information about nitrogen containing volatile organic compounds (N-VOC’s) in plants. -

When kept under long-day conditions (L18:D6) at 25 ◦C, both males and females start to copulate 4 days after the final moult. Second matings occur in some females, even on consecutive days. The premating period is 10 min on average and copulation lasts 1 to 2 min. At long range, when males are attracted to traps baited with live females, we did not observe a specific calling position of the females. At short range, a characteristic courtship behaviour of the females was not observed either. Males showed a characteristic vibration of the abdomen, which was repeated several times before copulation. This behaviour can be used as a bioassay to test potential sex pheromone compounds.

Native Insects on Non-Native Plants in the Netherlands: Curiosities Or Common Practice?
288 entomologische berichten 72 (6) 2012 Native insects on non-native plants in The Netherlands: curiosities or common practice? Kim Meijer Chris Smit Leo W. Beukeboom Menno Schilthuizen KEY WORDS Herbivorous insects, introduced plants, inventory, phytophagous insects Entomologische Berichten 72 (6): 288-293 In The Netherlands, close to 10% of all plant species occurring in natural habitats are non-native: species that were introduced from e.g. North America or Asia. Insect communities on non-native plants tend to get little attention from many (amateur) entomologists in The Netherlands for two main reasons. First, it is assumed that non-native plant species are not commonly used by herbivorous insects as host plants. Second, many entomologists consider insects associated with non-native plants of minor interest. Here, we give an overview of a large number (99) of native herbivorous insect species collected from non-native plant, clearly showing that non-native plants are used often as host plants. Introduction that species shifting to a novel environment (e.g., ecosystem or Non-native species can cause serious economic damage. In host) suffer less from natural enemies like predators, parasites, North America more than 50,000 species of plants, animals and herbivores and pathogens. Blossey & Nötzold (1995) suggested microbes have been introduced, causing an estimated $137 bil- the ‘Evolution of Increased Competitive Ability Hypothesis’ lion damage annually (Pimentel 2001). Furthermore, in many (EICA) as possible explanation of the success of non-native countries non-native species have a large effect on native spe- species. The EICA predicts that if plants escape from their her- cies and therefore also on the natural ecosystems in which bivores, they will allocate fewer resources to herbivore defence they occur. -

SEX-RELATED PERCEPTION of INSECT and PLANT VOLATILES in Lygocoris Pabulinus

EAGs were between 100 and 500 MV. Overall, male EAGs were about twice the size of female EAGs. In both sexes, largest EAGs were recorded to (E)-2-hexenyl butanoate and (E)-2-hexen-1-ol. Response profiles were similar in both sexes. However, male antennae were more sensitive to a number of esters, especially the butanoates and pentanoates. Female antennae were more sensitive to nine of the 19 plant volatiles, i.e., to hexan-1-ol, heptan-1-ol, 1-octen-3-ol, 2-heptanone, (R)-carvone, linalool, geraniol, nerol, and methyl salicylate. Sexual differences in responses suggest that males are more sensitive to insect-produced pheromone-type compounds, whereas females are more sensitive to plant compounds for their orientation towards oviposition sites.

Lack of taxonomic understanding has been a major impediment to the study and management of scarabaeid beetles. Identification of scarabaeid species is a challenging task due to variable morphological differences among species and delineation among the immature forms, the grubs and adults. DNA barcoding facilitates prompt identification of the pest utilizing fragmentary body parts. Barcodes were generated to identify the scarabaeid beetles from various geographical locations in South India, based on the mitochondrial Cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene (648-656 bp size). Genomic DNA of 23 scarabeaid beetles obtained from different geographical locations were characterized and a total of 19 barcodes were generated with Barcode Identity Number (BIN) in Bold Systems V3 database. -

Groot and J. Hans Visser Plant Research International, Wageningen University and Research Center, P.O. Box 16, 6700 AA Wageningen, The Netherlands Summary. Host plant volatiles may be involved in the Introduction sexual communication of insects in several ways. In the pheromone-producing sex, these volatiles may affect Host plant volatiles may be involved in the production, pheromone production or release and, in the receptive the release, or the perception of sex pheromones by sex, plant volatiles may have a synergistic effect on the insects (reviewed by McNeil & Delisle 1989; Landolt & attraction to sex pheromone. We conducted three types Philips 1997). Direct use of plant compounds as precur- of experiments to determine if and how plant volatiles sors for the biosynthesis of sex pheromone compounds are involved in the sexual communication of Lygocoris has been found mainly in male insects (Wood 1982; pabulinus (L.) (Heteroptera: Miridae), the females of Eisner & Meinwald 1987; Vanderwel & Oehlschlager which attract males. In a one-choice cylinder bioassay, 1987; Baker 1989; Landolt et al. 1992a). When females females were offered to males on two different plants, produce sex pheromone, plant volatiles have been belonging to different plant families, i.e. potato leaves found to initiate pheromone production in a more and goosefoot leaves, to determine if specific plant indirect way: females start producing pheromone when volatiles were involved in the attraction of males towards in the odor of a host plant (McNeil 1991; Raina et al.
