Figure A1. Composition of the volatile blend emitted by individual plants (n = 5) from three different B. nigra and one B. juncea popula-
tion. The day prior to volatile sampling, plants were infested with 10 L3 P. xylostella larvae, which remained on the plant during volatile
collection. Each bar depicts mean peak are g–1 fresh weight of above-ground tissue. Compounds of which the emitted concentrations
differed significantly among the populations are marked with an asterisks (p <0.05). DMNT: (E)-3,4,8-dimethyl-1,3,7-nonatriene.
