    Notes: Abstract Simultaneous electronic and close-up video recordings were made of behaviour during the initial 15 min of plant contact by adult, apterous Aphis fabae Scopoli on tick bean seedlings (Vicia faba Moench). Electronic techniques accurately determined stylet penetration of plant tissue and there was a close correlation between penetration and periods during which the insect antennae and body were immobile (r=0.994, n=60). Video techniques were then used alone to infer stylet penetration and the behaviour of aphids after various treatments was monitored. In particular, the time to first penetration, the number of penetrations, the mean duration of penetrations and the total time of penetration were observed. Behavioural differences were recorded between tethered (as required for electronic recording) and freelymoving insects as well as between fed and starved insects. The behaviour of starved aphids placed on beans treated with the plant-derived antifeedant, polygodial could not be distinguished from aphids on solvent-treated control beans. However, there were significant differences in behaviour of aphids which had previously been exposed to polygodial on plant or green/yellow paper surfaces for 24 h when compared with insects exposed to solvent alone. The possible modes of action of polygodial are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract A series of natural drimanes and related synthetic compounds was tested for antifeedant activity against aphids. Polygodial and warburganal were the most active. The synthetic compounds methyl 9α-hydroxydrimenoate and 9α-hydroxydrimenal, although active against lepidopteran larvae, were inactive against aphids. Natural (−)-polygodial and the synthetic (+) isomer showed similar levels of activity as aphid antifeedants and in phytotoxicity, fish toxicity, and human taste tests, but reacted at different rates with enantiomers of 1-phenylethylamine.

    Notes: Abstract The alarm pheromones are known for many species of aphids, and methods of using the synthetic pheromone to improve control of aphids by contact insecticides and biological agents have been devised. Highly active analogs have been prepared and plant-derived synergists identified. Laboratory studies on compounds obtained by chemical modification of the alarm pheromone and antifeedants derived from non-host plants have led to successful field trials against aphid-borne virus diseases in crops. Strategies for biotechnological production of aphid semiochemicals are described. The sex pheromones for a number of aphids have recently been identified. Further studies on the production, perception, and interspecific attraction of the pheromone components are described and possible uses for the sex pheromone are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Behavioral studies using an olfactometer demonstrated that sexual females (oviparae) of the damson-hop aphid,Phorodon humuli, release a pheromone to which males respond. Volatiles produced by the oviparae were analyzed by coupled gas chromatography-single cell recording from the secondary rhinaria on the male antenna and showed the presence of one peak with major activity. Coupled gas chrornatography-mass spectrometry suggested a nepetalactol, which was shown to have the 4aR, 7S, 7aS stereochemistry by synthesis from the corresponding nepetalactone isolated from the labiate plantNepeta mussinii. Although the stereochemistry at carbon-1 is not yet established, a synthetic sample comprising ca. 70% 1S and 30% 1R attracted highly significant numbers of males to water traps placed within and adjacent to a hop garden. Initial studies also indicated attraction of males in both the olfactometer and in the field by volatiles from the primary host.

    Notes: Abstract (E)-β-Farnesene, the major component of the alarm pheromone of many aphids, is prepared in 65% yield by passing commercial nerolidol through an evacuated column of alumina, treated with pyridine, at 200° C. The product is stored without air and applied to aphids as vapor at low speed (ca. 230 mm/sec) in air or nitrogen. The response of eight economically important aphid species was assessed in the laboratory; over 90% ofMyzus persicae responded in a large scale trial.

    Notes: Abstract 1,4-Cycloaddition reactions between (E)-β-farnesene (the aphid alarm pheromone) and dienophiles, such as SO2 and RO·CO·C ≡ CCO·OR, gave products more stable and less volatile than the parent compound. In laboratory experiments, the numbers ofMyzus persicae (Sulz.) settling and nymphs deposited on plants were decreased by some of the reaction products. Acquisition, and thereby transmission, of the semipersistent beet yellows virus and the nonpersistent potato virus Y, was decreased.

    Notes: Abstract The turnip aphid,Lipaphis (Hyadaphis) erysimi, responds weakly to (E)-β-farnesene, the main component of the alarm pheromone, but the response is substantially increased by incorporating plant-derived isothiocyanates, identified in aphid volatiles by coupled gas chromatography-single-cell recording.
