Oviposition of Lyonia race females on Juglans leaves treated with the Lyonia-specific triterpenoids. (A) Percentage of Lyonia race females oviposited on pieces of leaves of Juglans regia treated with or without samples in two-choice assays. A significant difference between the sample and control was analyzed within each two-choice set by Fisher’s exact test *p < 0.05. Numbers in parentheses represent the number of tested animals. (B) HPLC analyses of Fr. 6 prepared using ODS column chromatography. Black and red lines indicate fractions prepared from extract of L. ovalifolia and Juglans mandshurica, respectively. Each 1 mg of fraction (0.49- and 0.39-g leaf equivalents for L. ovalifolia and J. mandshurica, respectively) was analyzed using HPLC.
