GC-MS analysis of the leaf surface components of four Bulgarian grapevines grown under different conditions.
Four grapevine seedlings were propagated and planted both in a greenhouse and in an experimental field. Surface components of their fresh leaves were easily obtained and analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. In total, 21 surface metabolites were identified. Unlike the greenhouse samples, the field ones possessed semiochemicals and compounds contributing to their survival under environmental stress. This study shows that the leaf surface of the grapevine possesses compounds indicating the conditions of breeding.
