... Comparisons of release rates, duration in the field, and catch efficiency of polyethylene and cotton roll dispensers for the sex pheromones of sawflies (Hymenoptera: Diprionidae) were conducted. The release rates of the Neodiprion sertifer (Geoffr.) and Diprion pini (L.) sex pheromones, the acetates of pentadecanol and (2S,3S,7S)-3,7-dimethyl (2S,3R,7R)-3,7-dimethyl-2-tridecanol from polyethylene ...
... Information about soil VOC inventories and exchange rates in different soils is very scarce. Seasonality of soil VOC exchange rates is also largely unknown, despite the increasing interest in some soil volatile compounds, such as monoterpenes, because of their important role in soil ecology. We aimed to explore and quantify soil VOC exchange rates in a Mediterranean shrubland and their seasonality ...

Abstract:
... The essential oils obtained by water distillation from the aerial parts of Helichrysum italicum G. Don subsp. microphyllum (Willd.) Nym. were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Three different populations growing at different elevations and under different weather conditions were studied from their vegetative period to post-blooming time. Forty-eight constituents accounting for between 96.5% and 83.0% of t ...

Abstract:
... KEY MESSAGE : In French Guiana, the leaf and cambium phenologies should not be considered only as exogenous-driven processes, as the dry season, but also as endogenous-driven, as tree development stage. Studies of the periodicity of wood formation provide essential data on tree age and on factors that control tree growth. The aim of this work was to investigate cambial phenology and its relation w ...
... Anaerobic oxidation of ammonium (anammox) plays an important role in nitrogen (N) loss from agricultural systems. Recently, the rice rhizosphere was demonstrated to be a hotspot for anammox, yet the dynamics of anammox activity and the distribution of anammox bacteria in rhizosphere soil at different phenological stages of rice growth are still unknown. In this study, the activity, diversity and a ...
... In this study, the chemical composition of essential oil isolated by hydrodistillation from the aerial part of Achillea biebersteinii, growing wild in Iran was analyzed by GC and GC-MS. Eleven compounds were identified, representing 96.6% of total components. 1,8-cineole (45.2%), p-cymene (20.8%) and cis-chrysanthenyl acetate (20.4%) were found to be the main components of the oil. The study of th ...

Abstract:
... INTRODUCTION: Determination of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by immature fruits furthers our understanding of plant–pest interactions and by fruits in a ripe state concerns food quality. OBJECTIVES: To apply headspace solid‐phase microextraction gas chromatography quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (HS‐SPME‐GC‐QTOF/MS) to compare the volatiles emitted by different parts of ...
... Rhizosphere microbes are critical for plant health and biogeochemical cycles. Understanding the diversity of active microorganisms in the rhizosphere is key to enhancing plant growth and productivity. We examined rhizosphere bacterial communities of rice by comparison of the 16S ribosomal subunit amplicons generated from both the total (DNA-based, 16S rRNA gene) and the active (RNA-based, 16S rRNA ...
... To estimate how native herbage of three different phenological periods modify rumen performance and milk quality of yak grazing alpine meadow. In this study, milk composition and the diversity of the rumen microbial community were measured in 12 full-grazing female yaks on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). The nutrient composition of three phenological periods was determined: Vegetative stage (VS), ...
... The beech leaf-mining weevil, Orchestes fagi, is a common pest of European beech, Fagus sylvatica, and has recently become established in Nova Scotia, Canada where it similarly infests American beech, F. grandifolia. We collected volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by F. grandifolia leaves at five developmental stages over one growing season and simultaneously analyzed them for volatile emis ...
... The volatile components emitted from different organs of Viburnum tinus L., collected during various developmental stages, were analysed by solid phase micro extraction (SPME) and identified by GC-MS. More than 90% of the identified fraction was represented by non-terpenes in both young and adult leaves (94.2% and 94.3%, respectively), as well as in fruits of different ages: unripe and ripe (red a ...
... (9Z,11E)-tetradecadienyl acetate (9Z,11E-14:OAc) and (3Z,6Z,9Z,12Z,15Z)-pentacosapentaene (C25 pentaene), known as the sex pheromone of the European Dioryctria abietella population, were identified in the Korean D. abietella population. The ratio of 9Z,11E-14:OAc to C25 pentaene extracted from female pheromone glands was 1:23. The electroantennogram (EAG) response of male antennae to 9Z,11E-14:OAc ...
... Palmarosa [Cymbopogon martinii (Roxb.) Wats.] is a perennial grass and commercialized for its high value and industrially important essential oil dominated by geraniol and geranyl acetate. The aim of this study is to optimize the harvesting stage for getting higher yields of essential oil, geraniol, geranyl acetate and maximum monitory returns. The fields experiment spanning over two years (May 20 ...
... Ducrosia anethifolia L., an aromatic plant of the Apiaceae family, is traditionally used in Iran to improve the odor of foods and drinks. Different biological activities have been reported for this plant such as antibacterial, cytotoxic, antiproliferative, antianxiety, and sedative. The essential oil profile of D. anethifolia was investigated in different plant situations (phenological stages, sta ...
... The present work aimed to study the essential oil (EO) variation of Dracocephalum moldavica L. under different phenological stages. The EO yield was highest in the flowering stage, followed by floral budding, fruit set, and vegetative stages. Twenty-three components in EOs were identified by GC-MS and quantified using GC-FID. Geranyl acetate (31–50 %), geranial (16–27 %), geraniol (12–13.4 %) and ...
