(E,E)-4,8,12-Trimethyl-1,3,7,11-tridecatetraene
Sesquiterpene
(E,E)-4,8,12-Trimethyl-1,3,7,11-tridecatetraene (TMTT) is a sesquiterpene that serves as a vital herbivore-induced plant volatile. Its primary mechanism involves repelling herbivorous insects while simultaneously attracting their natural predators, thereby enhancing plant defense mechanisms. Research indicates that TMTT significantly disrupts the orientation behavior of Asian corn borer (Ostrinia furnacalis) larvae, effectively limiting their ability to locate pre-infested maize. This compound is valuable for studies on plant-insect interactions and biological pest management strategies.
