(E) -β-Farnesene
(E) -β-Farnesene is a sesquiterpene that serves as a primary aphid alarm pheromone. Research demonstrates its utility in studying insect behavior and physiology, as it disrupts hormone balance in pests like Chilo suppressalis, impairing larval development in both in vivo and in vitro experiments.
