To investigate the effects of environment on plant volatile emissions, `Waldmann's Green' leaf lettuce was cultivated under different levels of photosynthetic photon flux (PPF), photoperiod, and temperature. A modified growth chamber was used to sample plant volatile emissions nondestructively, over time, and under controlled conditions. Total volatile emission rates were significantly higher from lettuce cultivated under PPF of 360 or 200 μmol·m-2·s-1 compared to 105 μmol·m-2·s-1, and significantly higher under a 16-h photoperiod than an 8-h photoperiod. No differences were detected among emission rates from different temperature treatments. In controlled environments, emissions could be regulated by adjusting environmental conditions accordingly.

Abstract Over recent years, major progress in experimental approaches have bring insights about the ecological functions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by plants. However, deciphering volatile emissions in a methodologically robust and ecologically relevant manner remains a challenging issue. A surge in interest is required to characterize potential blind spots in volatile sampling that could result in dramatic bias in our understanding of VOCs. In parallel, ecologists need to account for various environmental factors in order to address appropriately the sources of variations of VOCs. Here we use two common porous polymers, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and Porapak Q, to collect VOCs released by tomato exposed to herbivory in combination with nitrogen shortage. We dissect two key features of volatile blends, i.e., their composition and their diversity. Upon nitrogen limitation, Porapak Q stresses the up-regulation of a common defensive compound (methyl salicylate), while herbivory induces three terpenes involved in the recruitment of natural enemies of Tuta absoluta (2-carene, ɑ-pinene and β-phellandrene). This study suggests that the combination of resource availability and herbivory governs the differential production of generalist and specific VOCs that are active against a broad spectrum or particular herbivore species, respectively. But PDMS was found unsuitable to observe such patterns in the composition of VOC emissions. Additionally, Porapak Q was found more sensitive than PDMS to track the increase in the diversity of stress-related VOC emissions upon nitrogen limitation. This suggests that plants growing with poor resources release more information in surroundings. We discuss particular implications for tri-trophic-mediated plant defences.

One hundred and thirty-nine medicinal plant species were screened for their allelopathic activity through volatile emissions using Lactuca sativa as a test plant. Volatile emissions from the leaves of star anise (Illicium verum) showed the highest inhibition (100%) on the radicle and hypocotyl growth. Using headspace gas collection and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), seven major volatile compounds from the leaves of star anise, including α-pinene, β-pinene, camphene, 1,8-cineole, D-limonene, camphor, and L-fenchone were detected. To determine volatile compounds that may contribute to the inhibitory activity of star anise, the allelopathic potential of individual volatiles from star anise was evaluated using the cotton swab bioassay. The EC50 was calculated for each of the seven identified compounds. L-fenchone showed the strongest growth inhibitory activity (EC50 is 1.0 ng/cm3 for radicle and hypocotyl growth of lettuce), followed by 1,8-cineole, and camphene. This is the first report that L-fenchone could be an important volatile allelochemical from the leaves of star anise. From the actual concentration of each volatile compound in headspace and EC50 value, we concluded that the four volatile compounds, including L-fenchone, 1,8-cineole, β-pinene, and camphene are the most important contributors to the volatile allelopathy of star anise.
