Monitoring plant odors in tomato culture for in-situ stress detection

Plants release a lot of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are produced either constitutively or after an induction by external stress factors. These factors could be identified by specific VOC or family of compounds activated and released in response to the stress. This preliminary study suggests that in-vivo monitoring of VOC signatures for crop management seems to be possible and would need to be tested with others genotypes, and portable devices for in-situ stress detectio
