Correlation analyses between volatiles and glucosinolates show no evidence for chemical defense signaling in Brassica rapa

Positive correlations between volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and defense chemicals indicate signaling of defense status. Such aposematic signaling has been hypothesized to be widespread in plants, however, it has up to now only been shown for visual signals. Correlations between identical compoun...
