  Effect of needle damage on the release rate of Masson pine (Pinus massoniana) volatiles.

  The effect of needle damage on the release rate of Masson pine (Pinus massoniana Lamb.) volatiles was examined. Needles were continuously damaged by mechanical damage (MDP) or by feeding of pine caterpillar (Dendrolimus punctatus) larvae (LFP); undamaged pine was used as a control (UDP). Volatiles were collected before damage, and at 16, 24, 40, 48, 64, 72, 88 and 96 h post-damage, and analyzed. The analyses revealed that 19 compounds identified as constitutive volatiles from UDP were terpenes and green leaf odors. The release rate of volatiles from MDP or LFP was higher than that from UDP.
