Abstract

ABSTRACT: An irregular C11 homoterpene, ( E )-4, 8-dimethylnona-1, 3, 7-triene (DMNT) was identified as a major component of the volatile compounds emitted from Basella alba leaves induced by herbivore. The terpenes including DMNT were not detected from the leaves infected by Botrytis cinerea . These results suggested that volatile emission from B. alba leaves was induced by herbivory but not by a fungal infection.
