Quantitative composition changes of sex pheromone in Anastrepha fraterculus depending on age
Zyková, Kamila ; Kalinová, Blanka (advisor) ; Rezek, Jan (referee)
Males of South American fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus form leks and release sex pheromone to attract females during the reproductive behavior. The aim of my diploma thesis was to collect samples of volatiles released by variously old males, subsequently to analyze and to determine the changes in the quantitative composition of the sex pheromone depending on age. The volatiles were trapped on adsorbent, eluted with hexane containing internal standard and analyzed by gas chromatography with mass detection. Males release twenty volatiles, including fourteen terpenes: α-pinene, camphene, -pinene, myrcene, Δ3-carene, limonene, (Z)--ocimene, (E)--ocimene, aromadendrene, trans-α-bergamotene, (Z)-β-farnesene, (Z,E)-α-farnesene, germacrene D, (E,E)-α-farnesene; one aldehyde: nonanal; two alcohols: (3Z)-non-3-en-1-ol, (3Z,6Z)-nona-3,6-dien-1-ol and three lactones: suspensolide, anastrephin a epianastrephin. From the list of named compounds there were proved antenal activity of six compounds in previous work, namely trans-α-bergamotene, (Z,E)-α-farnesene, (E,E)-α-farnesene, (3Z)-non-3-en-1-ol, (3Z,6Z)-nona-3,6-dien-1-ol and epianastrephin.
