Similarly, mechanically-injured plants can emit volatile chemicals that differ both quantitatively and qualitatively from undamaged plants. In this experiment, mechanical injury increased the release of the secondary metabolites linalool (3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadien-3-ol) and linalool oxide (5-ethenyltetrahydro-2-furanmethanol) by wheat plants. The amounts released varied significantly with injury type and the period of time after injury. The time interval for the volatile collection within the photophase also influenced the amount collected for each day. The increased emission of these compounds, as a result of injury, may be explained as a defense mechanism against wounding. The role of these plant volatiles can be further investigated in the context of plant response to mechanical injury, within the broader context of all types of injury.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Mechanically-injured wheat plants release greater amounts of the secondary metabolites linalool and linalool oxide}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/118504/PDF-MASTER/pan_doi_blank.pdf}, keywords={wheat, Triticum aestivum, volatiles, semiochemicals, odours}, }
