Abstract

Isoprene emission by 54 plant spp. was studied in greenhouse trials at 30 deg C and 350 mu E/m2 s light intensity. High rates (10-33 mu g C/g) were emitted by only 6 spp.; medium rates (1-10 mu g C/g) by 14 spp. including Pueraria lobata and Arachis glabrata; low rates (0.01-1.1 mu g C/g) by 17 spp. including Phaseolus vulgaris, pea, Vigna unguiculata, soyabean, Lathyrus latifolius, Lupinus albicaulis, lucerne, red clover, Lotus pedunculatus [= L. uliginosus], L. corniculatus, groundnut, maize and wheat. 17 spp. did not emit isoprene, including Beta vulgaris, Vicia faba, V. pannonica, Gossypium hirsutum, tobacco, potato and sorghum. Monoterpenes were detected in 6 spp
