Summary:A single compound with sex pheromone activity was isolated from the female soybean cyst nematode,Heterodera glycines, by a sequence of four high-performance liquid chromatographic steps and identified as vanillic acid by a combination of ultraviolet spectroscopy and chromatography. The structure was confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Both attractancy and coiling behavior in male soybean cyst nematode were elicited by authentic vanillic acid.
