Volatile Aldehydes Are Promising Broad-Spectrum Postharvest Insecticides

Abstract: A variety of naturally occurring aldehydes common in plants have been evaluated for their insecticidal activity and for phytotoxicity to postharvest fruits, vegetables, and grains. Twenty-nine compounds were initially screened for their activity against aphids on fava bean leaf disks. Application under reduced pressure (partial vacuum) for the first quarter of fumigation increased insecticidal activity severalfold. The 11 best aldehydes were assayed against aphids placed under the third leaf of whole heads of … Show more

“…We estimated the amounts of GLVs after freeze-thaw disruption; therefore, C6-aldehydes were the most abundant GLVs. C6-aldehydes have been reported to have insecticidal, fungicidal, and bactericidal activities (Hamilton-Kemp et al 1992;Croft et al 1993;Hammond et al 2000;Vancanneyt et al 2001;Nakamura & Hatanaka 2002;Hubert et al 2008;Kishimoto et al 2008), and thus they play a protective role in plant defense. The distinct spatial expression of HPL and accumulation of GLVs at the rim part of the leaf lamina may contribute to the ad hoc defense in plants upon tissue disruption, especially that caused by chewing insects.…”

“…These C6-aldehydes, alcohols, and their corresponding esters of the HPL pathway are collectively known as green leaf volatiles (GLVs; Matsui 2006;Nyambura et al 2011). Insecticidal, fungicidal, and bactericidal activities have been reported for (Z)-3-hexenal and its related aldehydes (Hamilton-Kemp et al 1992;Croft et al 1993;Hammond et al 2000;Vancanneyt et al 2001;Nakamura and Hatanaka 2002;Hubert et al 2008;Kishimoto et al 2008). They also function as airborne infochemicals in specific plant-herbivore, plant-carnivore, and plantplant relationships (Arimura et al 2009;Sugimoto et al 2014).…”

“…The direct eVect of such compounds has been evaluated on various pathogens and pests (Hammond et al 2000;Prost et al 2005;Casey and Hughes 2004;Matsui 2006;Mita et al 2007;Hubert et al 2008). However, the eVect of plant volatile aldehydes on mites has not been reported so far.…”

“…Thirdly, the compounds were recognized as toxic and therefore avoided. Short-chain saturated and unsaturated aliphatic aldehydes are produced by plant tissues in response to mechanical and herbivory damage through the hydroperoxide lyase pathway of oxylipin metabolism (Matsui 2006) and they have been shown to possess fumigant and contact toxicity against various stored-product insect pests (Ferguson and Pirie 1948;Hammond et al 2000;Hubert et al 2008;Germinara et al 2012a;Anfora et al 2014).…”
