Critical aspects for the reliable headspace analysis of plants cultivated in vitro.
Various factors controlling the recoveries of volatile organic compounds in vitro headspace analysis of tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. 'Moneymaker'), sampled using solid phase micro-extraction, were evaluated and optimised. The variations in composition of the headspaces were determined as a function of time, and following in vitro wounding of the plant.
