“…However, we acknowledge that some of these sesquiterpenes may be behaviorally active and should perhaps be investigated for their potential role as kairomones for T. fuscum and other wood-boring species. Longifolene, emitted by some of the red spruce we sampled, was the second most dominant sesquiterpene in turpentine extracted from P. sylvestris (Kula et al 1996), whereas carophyllene was one of the most abundant sesquiterpenes emitted by Mediterranean Pinus and Quercus species (Llusià and Peñ uelas 1998). Strong response to certain sesquiterpenes has been measured in olfactory receptor neurons of the pine weevil, Hylobius abietis L. (Wibe et al 1997).…”

“…In contrast to monoterpenoids, profiles of sesquiterpenoids are generally more stable and less susceptible to the influence of various external factors. While monoterpenes are generally common to many species, some sesquiterpene compounds or sesquiterpene profiles are unique for certain plants, [56–61] and coniferous plants including [62–66] …”

Conifer essential oils have been used for centuries in traditional medicine, and nowadays they are of special interest for official medicine, aromatherapy and perfumery. In the present work, comprehensive information is given on the composition of essential oils prepared from the twigs of the conifer trees of the pine family (Pinaceae): Abies sibirica Ledeb., Larix sibirica Ledeb., Picea obovata Ledeb., Pinus sibirica Du Tour, Pinus sylvestris L. A total of 50 samples of essential oils have been studied. The samples were prepared during vegetation stage in the time period 1998–2012 from the growing wild trees in the South part of the Western Siberia (Russian Federation) and neighboring territories of Republic of Kazakhstan within the area with geographical coordinates LAT 49.180012–57.908583 and LON 83.213217–91.258717 at elevation of 82–2070 m above sea level. All the essential oil samples were obtained from freshly collected plant raw material by steam distillation at atmospheric pressure in stainless steel apparatus, which had been specially designed for field research. All the chromatographic profiles were prepared from authentic samples whose voucher specimens are deposited at the Central Siberian Botanical Garden of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (NS). The following information for each sample is provided: (1) date and location of the plant raw material collecting, indicating administrative areas and the exact geographic coordinates; (2) yield of essential oil, (3) chemical composition of the essential oil sample based on GC/MS experiments using full mass‐spectra (EI, 70 eV) and linear retention indices of the components, (4) results of GC‐FID quantification based on internal standards and response factors, (5) enantiomeric composition of the main components based on GC×GC experiments using the 2nd column with cyclodextrin‐based chiral selector, (6) GC profile of the high‐boiling fractions indicating the characteristic sesquiterpenoids. Therefore, this study provides reliable information about the variability and true composition of the Siberian conifer oils, and the experimental data given can serve as reference chromatographic profiles of volatile substances to solve the problems of quality, authenticity and safety.

“…E-β-farnesene 8 and pentadecane 10 feature the characteristic fragmentation reactions, typical of linear and saturated hydrocarbons (McLafferty and Turecek 1993 ). As proved by SPME-GC/MS analysis, γ-cadinene 9 is a significant constituent of the essential oils from needles of P. sylvestris (Kula et al 1996 ; Maciag et al 2007 ). Interestingly, this sesquiterpnene is emitted in the significant amounts by Pine twigs (Mumm and Hilker 2005 ).…”

IntroductionA myriad of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by terrestrial vegetation plays an important role in environmental sciences. A thorough chemical identification of these species at the molecular level is essential in various fields, ranging from atmospheric chemistry to ecology of forest ecosystems. In particular, the recognition of VOCs profiles in a context of plant–insect communication is a key issue for the development of forest protection tools.PurposeThis work was aimed at the development of a simple, robust and reliable method for the identification of volatiles emitted from plant materials, which can attract or deter pest insects. Specifically, volatiles emitted from the bark of Pinus sylvestris were studied, which might attract the black pine sawyer beetle Monochamus galloprovincialis—a serious pest of the tree and a vector of a parasitic nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophius.MethodThe volatiles from bark samples were collected using a solid-phase micro-extraction technique, and subsequently analysed by gas-chromatography/mass-spectrometry (GC/MS). The characterisation of the volatile fraction was based on the comparison with data in mass spectral libraries, and in most cases, with the available authentic standards. The identified compounds were screened against the available entomological data to select insect attractors.ResultsThe identified components included terpenes (α-pinene, ∆-3-carene, and para-cymenene), oxygenated terpenes (α-terpineol and verbenone), sesquiterpenes (α-longipinene, longifolene, E-β-farnesene, γ-cadinene and pentadecane), and diterpenes (manoyl oxide and (+)-pimaral). Of these, longifolene and (+)-pimaral are of particular interest as plausible attractors for the M. galloprovincialis beetle that might find application in the construction of insect bait traps.
