Behavioral Effect of Plant Volatiles Binding to Spodoptera littoralis Larval Odorant Receptors
Phytophagous insects use volatile organic compounds (VOC) emitted by plants to orient towards their hosts. In lepidopteran pests, crop damages are caused by larval stages—the caterpillars—that feed extensively on leaves or other plant tissues. However, larval host plant choice has been poorly studie...
