Kafka, Wolf A. published the artcileEAC and single cell responses of the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis, Z-strain (Hbn) to the sex pheromone components z11-14:Ac, e11-14:Ac, structural analogs and some of their mixtures, Computed Properties of 16974-11-1, the publication is Acta Phytopathologica et Entomologica Hungarica (1989), 24(1-2), 117-24, database is CAplus.
Efficacy values were determined electrophysiol. for the sex-pheromone components Z– and E-tetradecenyl acetate (z11-14:Ac) and about 60 structural analoges and some of their binary mixtures in both sexes of laboratory-reared Z-strain of the European corn borer, O. nubilalis). The efficacy values were defined, on the basis of electroantennogram (EAG) dose response relations, as the ratios of source loads required for the different compounds to elicit a standard EAG-response. The compounds induced no EAG-responses in the females, but, with only small inter- and intra-individual variations, strongly differentiated responses in the males. The efficacy values varied between 1 (for the most effective compound z11-14:Ac) and about 300. Binary mixtures of the highly effective compounds induced EAG-responses which were up to nearly 100% higher than those ones which were induced by merely doubling the individual source loads (EAG enlargement about 30%). Supported by preliminary recordings from single receptor cells within morphol. different types of sensilla trichodea, there are thus indicated at least 5 different types of receptor cells. They respond either to the Z– or to the E-pheromone component (both types were found within one type of sensillum) or to some of the analogs e.g. z11-14:Ac, and a (97:3) mixture of e9- and e9-14:Ac. Responses were also elicited by y11-14:Ac (y stands for acetylenic C-C bonds), but it is still open if e11-14:Ac and y11-14:Ac excite one and the same type of the receptor cell.
