Germacrene D
The sesquiterpene germacrene D (GD) activates a major type of olfactory receptor neuron on the antennae of the heliothine moths, it can increase attraction and oviposition by the tobacco budworm moth Heliothis virescens.

24 months(2-8C).
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day.

(-)-Germacrene D increases attraction and oviposition by the tobacco budworm moth Heliothis virescens.[Pubmed:
12142326]
The sesquiterpene Germacrene D (GD) activates a major type of olfactory receptor neuron on the antennae of the heliothine moths. In Heliothis virescens females, 80% of the recordings have shown activity of one neuron type responding with high sensitivity and selectivity to GD.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
With the aim of determining the behavioural significance of this sesquiterpene, we have used a two-choice wind-tunnel to study the preference of mated H. virescens females for host plants with and without (-)-GD added. Tobacco plants containing dispensers with low release rate of (-)-GD had a greater attractiveness than tobacco plants without this substance. In addition, a significant increase of oviposition was found on the plants with (-)-GD.
