The sex-pheromone-producing gland of the eastern spruce budworm, in addition to producing the sex attractant (E)-11-tetradecenal, has been shown by gas chromatographic and mass spectral data to contain (E)-11-tetradecen-1-ol, a known inhibitor to the sex attractant.

Résumé

La glande sécretrice de phéromone chez la Tordeuse des bourgeons de l’Epinette produit la phéromone sexuelle, (E)-11-tetradecenal, et aussi contient (E)-11-tetradecen-1-ol décélé par la chromatographie en phase gazeuse et la spectrographe de masse. (E)-11-Tetradecen-1-ol est un inhibiteur familier à la phéromone sexuelle.
