Volatile profiles of young leaves of Rutaceae spp. Varying in susceptibility to the Asian Citrus Psyllid (Hemiptera: Psyllidae)

Abstract

This note reports the proportions of various compounds found in the headspace volatiles among 6 species in the family Rutaceae differing in their susceptibility to colonization by the Asian citrus psyllid. Some compounds occurred exclusively while others were common to several species. Behavioral analysis of individual compounds as well as blends of compounds may produce useful information for psyllid management and plant breeding strategies.
