Relative composition of alkenes on silks collected at 3- and 6-days PSE. a and b Percentage of alkenes relative to total hydrocarbons for emerged (a) and husk-encased (b) silk sections from 15 inbred lines grown in 2009. Inbred lines are ordered from low to high percentage alkenes on emerged silks at 3-days PSE. Asterisks indicate a significant difference between the percentage of alkenes at 3- and 6-days PSE on emerged (a) or husk-encased (b) silks of a given inbred line (T-test; * P < 0.05, **P < 0.001). Error bars represent ± standard error. HCs, hydrocarbons
