trans-beta-Farnesene is a volatile sesquiterpene hydrocarbon that has been found in aphids and has alarm pheromone and kairomonal attractant activities.1,2 It is produced by aphids in response to predator or parasite attack.1 trans-beta-Farnesene (0.2 ng) induces dispersion of 50% of M. persicae aphids from a cluster. trans-beta-Farnesene (>2 µg) also acts as a kairomone, attracting larvae and adults of A. bipunctata, a predator of aphids.2 Synonyms beta-Farnesene, (6E)-7,11-Dimethyl-3-methylene-1,6,10-dodecatriene, (E)-7,11-Dimethyl-3-methylene-1,6,10-dodecatriene, (E)-beta-Farnesene CAS No: 18794-84-8 Molecular Formula: C15H24 Molecular Weight: 204.35 Appearance Colorless to light yellow liquid Purity: 95% Solubility: Chloroform (Slightly), Dichloromethane (Slightly) Storage: Store at -20C.
