Patent number: 8221736Abstract: cis-Jasmone has been discovered to be useful as a semiochemical that changes the behavior of insects and/or the physiology of plants. It has direct signalling roles with plant-feeding aphids, in attraction of aphid predators and parasitoids, and may act as an airborne signal inducing production of volatile plant semiochemicals, including the monoterpene (E)-?-ocimene, that stimulate foraging by parasitoids. It is an extremely benign compound having, to human beings, a pleasant aroma and gives a long-lasting effect after removal of the stimulus.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2010Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: Rothamsted Research LimitedInventors: Alastair James Hick, John Anthony Pickett, Lester John Wadhams, Johnathan Andrew Napier
