Chemical and molecular analysis of the pheromone phenylacetonitrile in desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria Forskål (Orthoptera: Acrididae)
The desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria (Orthoptera: Acrididae) is a destructive pest when gregarious but harmless in solitary form. Reports demonstrate the involvement of aggregation pheromones in mediating behavior of the desert locust in the gregarious phase. Phenylacetonitrile (PAN), the major...
