Abstract
Trichome exudate from mite-resistant geraniums (Pelargonium horlorum) was analyzed, principally by mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. The exudate was found to consist of two anacardic acid derivatives,o-pentadecenylsalicylic acid ando-heptadecenylsalicylic acid. Bioassays established a moderate toxicity of these compounds to the two-spotted spider mite,Tetranychus urticae. The production of these compounds in geraniums was correlated with the two complementary dominant genes previously reported for host resistance to spider mites.Entities:
