Alkene accumulation on silks collected 3-days PSE from inbred lines grown in 2010. a Percentage of alkenes relative to total hydrocarbons. Inbred lines are ordered by increasing percentage of alkenes on emerged silks. Asterisks indicate a significant difference between emerged and husk-encased silk means for a given inbred line (T-test; * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.001). Error bars represent ± standard error. b and c Percentage of specific alkene classes relative to total alkenes for emerged (b) and husk-encased (c) silks. Inbred lines are ordered by increasing percentage of 7-monoenes in panel (b) and this order is maintained in panel (c). HCs, hydrocarbons
