Paper 19. Samuel Regev. 1979. Some possible roles of farnesol and nerolidol in the biology of two tetranychid mites. Pages 147-154. In: J. G. Rodriguez (editor). Recent Advances in Acarology.

Keywords: three physiological factors are discussed here which the author believes contributes to the success of these mites, two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae, carmine spider mite T. cinnabarinus. These are: 1) male mating behavior and the role of farnesol and nerolidol as sex attractants, 2) gonadotropic effect of farnesol, and 3) utilization of farnesol as a precursor for the synthesis of other chemicals such as sterols and juvenile hormone, mite physiology
