摘要
Larvae of the moth, Serrodes partita, feed almost exclusively on the leaves of the 'wild plum', Pappea capensis. Quebrachitol isolated from the leaves of this plant was shown to act as a feeding stimulant for the larvae but did not appear to play a rôle in selection of the oviposition site by the female. It is suggested that besides acting as a phagostimulant, quebrachitol may, after conversion to m-inositol, supply the m-inositol dietary requirements of the larvae. © 1969.
