An Optimized SPME-GC-MS Method for Volatile Metabolite Profiling of Different Alfalfa (<i>Medicago sativa</i> L.) Tissues

Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) was coupled to gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and a method optimized to quantitatively and qualitatively measure a large array of volatile metabolites in alfalfa glandular trichomes isolated from stems, trichome-free stems, and leaves as part of a non...
