Abstract

No significant effects were observed in bioassays designed to measure impact of the furanocoumarin precursors demethylsuberosin and marmesin on typical physiological parameters (survival and development rate) of the generalist herbivore, Spodoptera exigua (Hübner). The linear furanocoumarin psoralen did increase developmental times and reduce survival. All of these compounds were demonstrated to have significant behavioral ...
