Abstract:
In this chapter, we give an introduction to innovative attempts for the collection, identification, and statistical analysis of volatile organic compound (VOC) patterns emitted by phytoplasma-infected plants compared to healthy plants by the use of state-of-the-art techniques. This encompasses headspace-sampling techniques, gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, and identification of VOC patterns by the "Automated Mass Spectral Deconvolution and Identification System" (AMDIS) followed by appropriate statistical analysis.
