To measure monoterpene emissions from plants grown in widely used open-top chambers ( OTCs ) , we developed a gas sampling method that does not involve the stimulation of leaves and branches. Four clones of Japanese cedar ( Cryptomeria japonica ) were grown in the OTC ( 60 × 60 × 120 cm ) . To sample the monoterpenes, the existing OTC was used for a dynamic enclosure system. The open side ( top ) of the OTC was covered using a transparent acrylic plate with a hole ( 10 cm in diameter ) in the center. Purified air was supplied through 50 holes ( 3 mm in diameter ) made in a ring-shaped Teflon tube horizontally fixed near the bottom of the OTC. Monoterpene emission rates measured during the afternoon ( n = 8–10 ) were well correlated with temperature ( r 2 = 0.94 – 1.00 ) , and the total monoterpene emission rate during a certain period of the experiment can be estimated using this relationship and recorded temperature. Our results suggest that the developed gas sampling system using the existing OTC is a reliable method to collect monoterpenes emitted from plants without stimulating leaves and branches. It can be used to compare the monoterpene emission poten-tial of plants affected by environmental stresses applied for OTC experiments.
