Short term changes in methanol emission and pectin methylesterase activity are not directly affected by light in <i>Lycopersicon esculentum</i>

Plants are an important source of atmospheric methanol (MeOH), the second most abundant organic gas after methane. Factors regulating phytogenic MeOH production are not well constrained in current MeOH emission models. Previous studies have indicated that light may have a direct influence on MeOH pr...
