Alarm response of cereal aphid colonies (n = 17–19) to 1 μl drops of either samples of volatiles released by, B2812 R9P1 and B2803 R6P1 wheat plants containing 19 and 62 ng respectively, pure synthesised (E)-β-farnesene (1000 ng) or a solvent control:
percentage of aphids that responded and/or moved away from the area after 1 minute (mean + /− s.e.). *indicates significant difference (P < 0.05) in response between treatment and (E)-β-farnesene.
