The volatile compounds emitted by leaves of 10 willow varieties that differ in their susceptibility to damage by blue (Phratora vulgatissima), brassy (P. vitellinae), and brown (Galerucella lineola) willow beetles were examined both before and after mechanical damage and correlated with feeding preferences of these beetles determined under laboratory conditions. Three compounds were identified from intact undamaged leaves of six willow varieties, namely cis-3-hexenyl acetate, cis-3-hexenol, and benzaldehyde. After mechanical damage, the yield and number of volatile compounds increased for all varieties. There were significant differences among willow varieties for both the concentration of cis-3-hexenyl acetate and the relative proportion of this compound to cis-3-hexenol (green leaf volatile ratio). The 10 varieties collectively showed a significant negative correlation between the relative resistance of each variety to blue and brown willow beetles and the yield of cis-3-hexenyl-acetate from damaged plants. The green leaf volatile ratio of damaged plants was also negatively correlated with the relative resistance of willow variety to these two beetle species.
