^aPutative identity of VCs present in the headspace of 14-day-old F. oxysporum culture on PDA is shown. Only the compounds that were detected in two biological replicates are listed. Mass spectra and retention index (RI) of each compound were compared with reference data in the NIST library for identification.

^bLinear RI of each compound was determined using a mixture of alkane standards (C₇-C₄₀).

^cLinear RI of each compound found in the literature is shown. – (Linear RI of these compounds is not available in the literature).

^d√ denotes the presence of each compound.
