Effects of ALA treatment on transcripts accumulation and emission of (E)-β-ocimene in L. japonicus. A, Northern hybridization signals for LjEβOS and LjSqS in the L. japonicus shoots treated with water or ALA solution. B, RT-PCR analysis using the gene-specific primers of LjEβOS or LjTPS1 followed the same time courses shown in A. C, (E)-β-Ocimene emissions from L. japonicus plants treated with ALA solution. Data represent the mean ± se (n = 3–6, ion intensity of (E)-β-ocimene per gram fresh weight).
