Abstract
Plant phospholipids were isolated from wheat germ oil by chromatographic techniques. The lecithins and phosphatidyl inositol were shown to evoke striking feeding activity from older nymphs and adults of the two species of grasshoppers, Melanoplus bivittatus (Say) and Camnula pellucida (Scudder). This feeding activity was much more pronounced in the male nymphs than in the female nymphs.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
