Monoterpene Content in Trichome Exudates.

Trichome exudates obtained by brief extraction of tissues with MTBE were analyzed for monoterpene content by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry.

(A) Wild-type (WT) green fruit.

(B) jai1-1 green fruit.

(C) Wild-type sepal.

(D) jai1-1 sepal.

(E) Before extraction with MTBE, wild-type fruit was wiped with a cotton swab to remove trichome contents.

(F) Exudate collected directly from type-VI trichome glands of wild-type green fruit. The y axis indicates arbitrary absorbance units (AU).
