Abstract
A GC–MS comparison of the volatile organic compounds in extracts from young versus mature leaves from first year canes of Himalayan blackberry Rubus armeniacus (Focke) showed young leaves to contain significantly higher concentrations of 2-heptanol and methyl salicylate. Tissue disruption of both types of blackberry leaves showed no increase in the concentration of these compounds. 2-Heptanol had significant antifeedant activity against the banana slug, Ariolimax columbianus (Gould), but methyl salicylate did not inhibit banana slug feeding at the concentration present in young leaves. ► A GC–MS comparison of volatiles from young and mature Himalayan blackberry leaves. ► Volatile antifeedant compounds in growing cane tips of Himalayan blackberry. ► Banana slug antifeedant activity of volatile cane tip compounds.
