“…High‐resolution direct monitoring of leaf oxidative status and overall stress level through desiccation–rewatering cycles is not feasible. However, a plethora of volatiles is released from stressed plants (Loreto & Schnitzler, ; Matsui, Sugimoto, Kakumyan, Khorobrykh, & Mano, ; Niinemets et al, ), and the release of several of stress volatiles is typically quantitatively associated with the severity of stress (Beauchamp et al, ; Jiang, Ye, Li, & Niinemets, ; Loreto & Schnitzler, ; Niinemets, Kännaste, & Copolovici, ). Among these volatiles, the release of lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway volatiles, a mixture of various C6 aldehydes and alcohols and their derivatives, is a ubiquitous response to different abiotic and biotic stresses; LOX volatiles are typically elicited upon severe stress that leads to membrane‐level damage (Beckett et al, ; Copolovici et al, ; Copolovici, Kännaste, Pazouki, & Niinemets, ; Copolovici, Väärtnõu, Portillo Estrada, & Niinemets, ; Kanagendran, Pazouki, & Niinemets, ; Li, Harley, & Niinemets, ).…”
