  Abstract:  Emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) play important roles in plant biology and atmospheric chemistry at a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. This article describes a headspace method coupled with gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for the detection of volatile terpenes (monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes) and other related compounds emitted from plants, especially under stress conditions. A protocol is developed for simultaneous detection and quantification of isoprene, and mono- and sesquiterpenes from plant emissions.

Keywords: BVOC emission, Mass spectrometry, Monoterpenes, Plant stress, Sesquiterpenes
