Induction of plant responses to oviposition and feeding by herbivorous arthropods: a comparison (2002, background): “Volicitin, which is 17-hydroxylated linolenic acid conjugated with glutamine, has been identified from regurgitant of Spodoptera exigua larvae (Alborn et al., 1997, 2000; Turlings et al., 2000).”
Volicitin, An Elicitor of Maize Volatiles in Oral Secretion of Spodoptera Exigua: Isolation and Bioactivity (2004, background): “This notion is strengthened by the fact that the inactive component C in Figure 5 was identified as N-(17-hydroxylinoleoyl)-L-glutamine (Alborn et al., 2000), which is derived from linoleic acid rather than linolenic acid as is the case for volicitin.”
Recruitment of predators and parasitoids by herbivore-injured plants (2004, background): “Perhaps they serve as surfactants that facilitate the transport and digestion of food, or they may neutralize the effects of plant toxins (Alborn et al., 2000; Spiteller et al., 2000).”
Can plants betray the presence of multiple herbivore species to predators and parasitoids? The role of learning in phytochemical information networks (2005, background): “Kant et al. 2004; Ament et al. 2004; Mercke et al. 2004; Reymond et al. 2004); (7) elicitors of HIPV synthesis in the plant have been found in the regurgitate/saliva of herbivores [N-(17-hydroxylinolenoyl)-L-glutamine or volicitin: Alborn et al. 1997, 2000; b-glucosidase: Hopke et al. 1994; Mattia”
