Abstract:Aphids are the major concern that significantly reduces the yield of crops. (E)-b-farnesene (Ebf) is the principal component of the alarm pheromone of many aphids. The results of current research support the direct defense response of (E)-b-farnesene (Ebf) against aphid Lipaphis erysimi (L.) Kaltenbach in Brassica juncea. Ebf gene was isolated from Mentha arvensis and transformed into B. juncea, showed direct repellent against aphid colonization. The seasonal mean population (SMP) recorded under field conditio… Show more
