IUPAC name for methyl trans-crotonate; IUPAC name for ethyl (E)-crotonate; nd: nondetected; tr: unquantifiable traces; different capital letters indicate difference at 95% significance between fibers within the same genotype by ANOVA followed by LSD test; different lower case letters indicate difference at 95% significance between genotypes for the same fiber by ANOVA followed by LSD test; Kovats index value (KI) calculated for the HP-5 MS (5% phenyl-methylpolysiloxane) column; Kovats index value (KI) using literature data (Adams, 2001; Pherobase, 2012). The reliability of the identification proposal is indicated by the following: A: mass spectrum, retention time, and Kovats index agreed with standards; B: mass spectrum agreed with Wiley data and Kovats index agreed with literature data (Adams, 2001; Pherobase, 2012); C: mass spectrum agreed with Wiley virtual library of mass spectral (Kovats index not found in the searched literature).
