Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation ρ‐Hydroxybenzaldehyde is present in the surface wax of all sorghum cultivars examined and acts as an antifeedant against Locusta.
- Observation The concentration of ρ‐Hydroxybenzaldehyde in the sorghum wax varies with cultivar, and in some cultivars is highly deterrent to Locusta.
- Association The concentration of ρ‐Hydroxybenzaldehyde in sorghum wax decreases with increasing plant age.
- Observation Sorghum seedlings contain deterrent amounts of the wax antifeedant only in the early stages of growth.
- Observation Sorghum seedlings appear to have thicker or more resistant cuticular waxes than other Gramineae.
