	abstract = {After herbivore attack, many plants emit herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs). HIPVs can attract carnivores and/or repel herbivores, thereby mediating tritrophic plantherbivorecarnivore interactions. HIPVs act as chemical information between organisms; hence, their variability and stability are vital. In the present study, variations in the volatile emissions, from the tea plant Camellia sinensis (O. Ktze) damaged by the tea weevil Myllocerinus aurolineatus (Voss) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), with weevil densities, photoperiod and infestation duration, were investigated. The volatiles induced by high-density weevils were more abundant in composition and amount than those induced by low-density weevils, whether at noon, night or after weevil removal. The induced volatile emissions were similar on the second and third day after infestation, and the emissions of the major induced compounds displayed diurnal cycles. Linalool, (E,E)-a-farnesene, and benzyl nitrile were emitted mainly at noon, whereas 1,3,8-p-menthatriene and (E)-[beta]-ocimene were maximally emitted at night. Given the different emission dynamics, significant differences were found between noon- and night-induced volatiles. In summary, tea plants damaged by different weevil densities emitted a relatively stable signal at a particular time. This stability could be attributed to the similarities under the two densities of the main induced volatile compounds, their relative ratios and the emission dynamics of the induced volatiles.},

	abstract = {In order to find new non-polluting control methods for the tea weevil Myllocerinus aurolineatus Voss, a behavioral bioassay was conducted to test the repellent activity of nineteen plant essential oils on this pest. The results show that allitridi, lavender oil, baicalin, extract of Cantleyt corniculata (Becc) Howard, Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Nees, Artemisia argyi Levl. et Vant, Fallopia multiflora (Thunb.) Harald, Sophora flavescensn Alt., Leonurus artemisia Sweet and Lonicera Japonica Thunb., were repellent to both male and female M. aurolineatus adults. Of these, allitridi, S. miltiorrhiza extract, F. multiflora extract, and extract of S. flavescensn reduced feeding by adult weevils relative to the control. Extract of C. corniculata and L. Japonica reduced feeding activity, whereas allitridi and extract of L. artemisia significantly enhanced the appetite of adult weevils relative to the control. Artemisia argyi extract, lavender oil, and baicalin, although repellent, did not reduce feeding activity relative to the control. Compared to the control, extract of A. paniculata was attractive to weevils. Further research on the effects of extracts of C. corniculata, S. miltiorrhiza, F. multiflora, S. flavescensn, and L. Japonica on tea weevils is required to fully determine the control potential of these compounds.},
