Application


  • Effect of volatile organic compounds from bacteria on nematodes.: Methyl thiobutyrate is identified as a bioactive volatile organic compound in bacterial interactions with nematodes, suggesting its potential use in biocontrol applications in agriculture (Xu et al., 2015).

  • Carboxylesterase activity, cDNA sequence, and gene expression in malathion susceptible and resistant strains of the cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii.: This study explores the enzymatic interactions involving methyl thiobutyrate, providing insights into insecticide resistance mechanisms, which can inform the development of more effective pest management strategies (Pan et al., 2009).
