Abstract:

Volatile components from Opuntia ficus-indica Mill parasitized by Dactylopius coccus Costa were closely and
circularly head-space sampled within adsorptive tubes,then analyzed by auto thermal-desorption gas chromatography /mass
spectrometry (ATD-GC /MS) . Eight kinds of compounds were detected in the volatiles collected from unparasitized O.
ficus-indica ,and 9 kinds from those parasitized by D. coccus. The volatile components from parasitized and unparasitized
plants differed in variety and content. Terpenes are the major components in herbivore-induced plant volatiles. In this
experiment,terpenes reduced from 23. 12% to 6. 98% after parasitization by D. coccus. Benzaldehyde ( 1. 73% ) was
only detected in healthy plants while esters (21. 15% ),alcohols (1. 79% ) and aromatic hydrocarbons (1. 51% ) were
detected in parasitized plants.
