(E,E)-4,8,12-Trimethyl-1,3,7,11-tridecatetraene (TMTT), a sesquiterpene, is the major herbivore-induced plant volatile that help in defense directly by acting as repellants and indirectly by recruiting insects' natural enemies. (E,E)-4,8,12-Trimethyl-1,3,7,11-tridecatetraene attractes Asian corn borer (ACB, Ostrinia furnacalis) larvae. External supplementation with (E,E)-4,8,12-Trimethyl-1,3,7,11-tridecatetraene hampered the larvae's ability to locate pre-infested maize.
