e0“The Chinese pepper buprestid beetle, Agrilus zanthoxylumi Li Meng Lou, 1989 (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), is a major trunk-boring pest affecting the yield and quality of Zanthoxylum bungeanum”
e4“Multivariate analyses further revealed distinct distributions in volatiles, with γ-terpinene, α-terpineol, and linalyl acetate emerging as key compounds distinguishing varieties”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Agrilus zanthoxylumi showed the highest resting frequency and feeding amount on Zanthoxylum bungeanum Fugu leaves, compared with Dahongpao leaves.
- Intervention effect Agrilus zanthoxylumi showed the lowest resting frequency and feeding amount on Zanthoxylum bungeanum Dahongpao leaves.
- Observation Zanthoxylum bungeanum Fugu leaves contained 17 unique volatile components, including (E)-4-hexen-1-ol, (−)-limonene and (−)-α-pinene.
- Intervention effect Zanthoxylum bungeanum Fugu had significantly higher quantities of unique volatile components than Dahongpao and Feng.
- Observation Gamma-terpinene, alpha-terpineol and linalyl acetate were key volatile compounds distinguishing Zanthoxylum bungeanum varieties.
- Association Feeding preferences of Agrilus zanthoxylumi are closely related to host volatiles of Zanthoxylum bungeanum.
- Mechanism Variety-specific volatile compounds may be the primary chemical cues driving the feeding preferences of Agrilus zanthoxylumi.
