Rapid Sampling Protocol of Isoprene Emission Rate of Palm (Arecaceae) Species Using Excised Leaves

The high isoprene emission capacity of palm species can decrease regional air quality and enhance the greenhouse effect when land is converted to plantations. Propagation low-emitting individuals be a strategy for reducing from palms. However, identification requires large-scale sampling. Thus, we aimed develop rapid method in which rate leaf segments observed. We examined temperature response incubation length on found that temperatures at 25 30 °C an 40 min are suitable parameters. To further examine validity method, applied both enclosure this same sections leaves. High coefficient determinations (0.993 0.982) between results two methods were detected regardless seasonal temperature. This result proves capable measuring under any growth conditions if controlled. By using water bath tank tested light source, simply implement unified environmental control multiple samples once, achieves higher time efficiency than conventional measurements.
