The total quantity of monoterpene in the reactive tissues increased with each treatment but to different levels. In each tree the monoterpene composition of the reactive tissues differed from that of the unwounded tissues but was the same whatever the treatment even in the case of an injection with buffer control. In addition phloem and sapwood responses were qualitatively identical although constitutive compositions differed greatly. The composition of reactive tissues was not very different from that of unwounded sapwood. The direction of variation of each monoterpene from unwounded to reactive tissues differed according to the particular tree. Only phellandrene limonene reacted consistently. From these results we cannot conclude that chitosan is a natural elicitor and the non-specificity of the response for the aggression favors the hypothesis that an elicitor originates from the tree itself. Because of this non-specificity and the fact that the three trees responded in a qualitatively different manner we suggest that the qualitative monoterpene response of the tree is not adapted to any specific aggressor even though these trees are usually hosts of the same bark beetle-fungus complex Thus the role of monoterpenes in the induced defensive .
