Multi-bioactivity of sesquiterpenes from Zanthoxylum piasezkii: contact toxicity, repellent and antifeedant effects against Tribolium castaneum via odorant receptor modulation

Plant-derived secondary metabolites, particularly monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, have been proven effective for controlling stored-product pests. However, their application has been limited because their mechanisms of action remain unclear. In this work, three sesquiterpenes we...
