(3E)-4,8-Dimethylnona-1,3,7-triene, 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. (3E)-4,8-Dimethylnona-1,3,7-triene attractes Asian corn borer (ACB, Ostrinia furnacalis) larvae. External supplementation with (3E)-4,8-Dimethylnona-1,3,7-triene hampered the larvae's ability to locate pre-infested maize.
