Odor polymorphism in deceptive Amorphophallus species - a review. [PDF]
Plant Signal Behav, 2021 Some plant lineages, such as Araceae and Orchidaceae, have independently evolved deceptive flowers. These exploit the insect’s perception and deceive the insects into believing to have located a suitable opportunity for reproduction. The scent compounds emitted by the flowers are the key signals that dupe the insects, guiding them to the right spots ...
