AB represents a two-chamber cage where a responding genotype B was exposed to volatiles from an inducing genotype A. 0B is two-chamber cage without plants in the first chamber, where genotype B was not exposed to plant volatiles. BB is a two-chamber cage with the same genotype in both chambers, where genotype B is exposed to volatiles from the same genotype. A*B is a two-chamber cage with different genotypes in each chamber, where the inducing genotype A was removed. B*B is two-chamber cage with the same genotype in both chambers, where cultivar B was removed from the inducing chamber
