4-Methyltridecane
4-Methyltridecane is a volatile substance specifically released by cabbage root flies (Delia radicum) after feeding. 4-Methyltridecane might be a key signal for the parasitoid bee Trybliographa rapae (Delia radicum’s specific parasitic predator) to locate the host. 4-Methyltridecane can serve as a specific marker for root damage in turnips (Brassica rapa subsp. Rapa) [1].
