“…Typically, it has been reported that plant volatiles and sex pheromones regulate and control the behaviors in insects (Aquino et al,2021;Reddy and Guerrero,2004). According to this feature, it has been widely used to control insect pests by regulating insect behavior (Dicke,2014; Larsson,2016).…”

The common cutworm Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), an important pest of tobacco, has substantial detrimental effects on many crops production. Sex pheromone has been widely used in pest forecasting and controlling. Plant volatiles as a kind of synergists may provide more efficient services to avoid the limitation of sex attractant in comprehensive trapping pests. To improve the effectiveness of its female-produced sex pheromone were evaluated using electroantennography. The 21 volatile compounds were tested in S.litura, several compounds with strong responses were selected and compared the responses of different concentrations, different proportions and mixed preparation. The both females and males had strong responses by Benzaldehyde, Heptaldehyde, cis-3-Hexen-1-ol, Ethyl benzoate, Myrcene, Benzyl alcohol, with the increase of concentrations, the EAG response values also increased gradually. Cis-3-Hexen-1-ol was mixed with Heptaldehyde, the strongest responses of females and males were elicited when the ratio was 9:1 and 8:2, respectively. And cis-3-Hexen-1-ol mixed with Myrcene, the strongest responses were elicited when the ratio was 1:1 and 3:7. Heptadehyde mixed with Benzyl alcohol, the strongest responses were elicited when the ratio was 1:9 and 6:4. Also, three formulations including single Heptaldehyde, the mixture of cis-3-Hexen-1-ol and Heptaldehyde, the mixture of cis-3-Hexen-1-ol and Myrcene were strongly significantly enhanced the EAG responses of the moths to sex pheromone. This study demonstrates the capability of S. litura females and males to detect and discriminate among different volatiles,and provides a theoretical basis for further olfactometer and field trapping works.

“…In Anastrepha, (Z)-non-3-en-1-ol (a member of the fatty acyl compound class) is the unique compound shared among A. fraterculus, A. ludens, A. obliqua, and A. suspensa. This compound is a typical host plant component and has been shown to elicit an active behavioural response in all four species [174,187,192,240,241]. For example, A. fraterculus females are attracted to (Z)-non-3-en-1-ol [174].…”

“…This technique is particularly useful for the assignment of activity to chemicals which may be present as minor components in complex mixtures, although it provides no information about the function of the active compounds. GC-EAD analyses of male pheromone or rectal glands extracts have been performed on several tephritid species, including C. fasciventris, C. anonae and C. rosa [213], C. capitata [220,239], B. oleae [286], A. serpentina [192], A. fraterculus [176,[287][288][289], A. obliqua [241] and A. striata [290]. Additional studies performed GC-EAD analyses on the headspace volatiles of both sexes, in the species R. batava [60], Bactrocera frauenfeldi (Schiner) [291], B. musae [75], and C. capitata [222].…”

The Dipteran family Tephritidae (true fruit flies) comprises more than 5000 species classified in 500 genera distributed worldwide. Tephritidae include devastating agricultural pests and highly invasive species whose spread is currently facilitated by globalization, international trade and human mobility. The ability to identify and exploit a wide range of host plants for oviposition, as well as effective and diversified reproductive strategies, are among the key features supporting tephritid biological success. Intraspecific communication involves the exchange of a complex set of sensory cues that are species- and sex-specific. Chemical signals, which are standing out in tephritid communication, comprise long-distance pheromones emitted by one or both sexes, cuticular hydrocarbons with limited volatility deposited on the surrounding substrate or on the insect body regulating medium- to short-distance communication, and host-marking compounds deposited on the fruit after oviposition. In this review, the current knowledge on tephritid chemical communication was analysed with a special emphasis on fruit fly pest species belonging to the Anastrepha, Bactrocera, Ceratitis, and Rhagoletis genera. The multidisciplinary approaches adopted for characterising tephritid semiochemicals, and the real-world applications and challenges for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and biological control strategies are critically discussed. Future perspectives for targeted research on fruit fly chemical communication are highlighted.
