    Product Description

    trans-β-Ocimene is a monoterpene and isomer of β-ocimene (Item No. 23466) that has been found in a variety of plants, including Cannabis.{43357,42452,42455) It is a volatile compound involved in plant-plant signaling and plant defense against pests. Emission of trans-β-ocimene from L. japonicus plants is induced within 24 hours of spider mite (T. urticae) infestation.1 Conditioning of tomato plants using volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing trans-β-ocimene synthase increases production of VOCs and reduces the number of aphids (M. euphorbiae) that settle on the plant and the number of nymphs produced by the aphids that settle, as well as increases the number of landings of the aphid parasitoid A. ervi compared with conditioning using wild-type tobacco VOCs.2

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
