My research is about the preference and biology of A. siro in several kinds of rice both in intact and crushed conditions. In my preference experiment, I used the free choice test, and I found that A. siro prefers red and black rice to white rice. My question, what is exactly the compound that attracts A. siro to locate those grains?
Pherobase is a database of semiochemicals and consulting it for A. siro resulted in 1 article (joined).
