Title: Factors affecting the emission of monoterpenes from red pine (Pinus densiflora)

Journal Article · · Plant Physiol.; (United States)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1104/pp.75.4.1009· OSTI ID:6095294

The mechanism of monoterpene emission from Pinus densiflora was studied using an environmentally controlled gas cabinet. It was found that monoterpene emission rate increases exponentially with temperature and is also influenced by light. These observations were explained reasonably by a mechanism whereby monoterpene emission rate depends on the monoterpene amount in the leaf oil and its saturated vapor pressure. 14 references, 2 figures, 1 table.
