Volatile emission is ranked from high (left) to low (right) within each row, where significant differences (< 0.05; one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc test) are indicated by different letters. Volatiles were collected from control plants (Control; white), plants exposed to low red : far-red (Low R; red), plants sprayed with 100 μM methyl jasmonate (MeJA; blue) and plants exposed to low red : far-red and treated with 100 μM MeJA (Low R + MeJA; purple). (E,E)-TMTT, (E,E)-4,8,12-trimethyltrideca-1,3,7,11-tetraene; (E,E)-TMMHT, (E,E)-7,11,15-trimethyl-3-methylene-hexadeca-1,6,10,14-tetraene.
