Z-7-Dodecenyl acetate and Z-7-dodecenyl alcohol have been identified as sex pheromone components o f female Autographa gamma. This is the first time that Z-7-dodecenyl alcohol has been found in the natural pheromone of Plusiinae. When incorporated in pherom one traps of some Plusiinae species the alcohol is both synergist and inhibitor, thus being an important factor in sex isolation among sympatric Plusiinae species in Israel
