β-Ocimene is a monoterpene that has been found in a variety of plants and is a volatile compound involved in plant-plant signaling and plant defense against pests.{42453,42454} It is emitted by tea (C. sinensis) plants in response to a jasmonic acid combined with mechanical damage (JAMD) model of herbivore attack.{42453} β-Ocimene reduces the number of winged aphids (M. persicae) that settle on Chinese cabbage and the feeding time and number of nymphs produced by aphids on leaves.{42454} The aphid endoparasitoid A. gifuensis demonstrates a preference for β-ocimene-treated Chinese cabbage over control plants in a wind tube two-choice test. β-Ocimene (100-1,000 ppm) also has antioxidant activity in a thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay.{2762}
