Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2004
We report the chemical composition of the floral rewards and the fragrance of 10 Maxillariinae (Orchidaceae) species. The species that offer rewards (labellar secretions) are usually scentless, the rewards being collected by bees. Chemical analyses revealed that the major chemical class of compounds present in the labellar secretions are triterpenoids.

The antiquity of floral secretory tissues that provide today’s fragrances
Historical Biology, 2018It is well known that flowers use scents to attract pollinators and that these fragrances are composed of a mixture of different chemical compounds, many of which form the basis of perfumes and col...

INSECT REPRODUCTION AND FLORAL FRAGRANCES: KEYS TO THE EVOLUTION OF THE ANGIOSPERMS?
TAXON, 1986SummaryPollination systems in extant archaic angiosperms and cycads share three important characteristics. Based on these, it is suggested that insect pollination evolved primarily through meshing of the sexual life cycles of phytophagous insects with flowers in which floral odors served as chemical cues for mating sites and food. Floral fragrances may

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2019
Fragrances of many flower families have been sampled and the volatiles analyzed. Knowing the compounds that make up the fragrances can be an important step to conservation of flowers that are threatened or endangered. Because floral fragrance is critical

Phytochemistry, 1987
Abstract Floral fragrances in four species of Actaea (Ranunculaceae) and a hybrid were studied by GC-MS. They consist primarily of 10–15 closely related monoterpenes, and differ quantitatively between species. In order to separate the volatiles actually produced by the flower, parallel collections were made from inflorescence and vegetative parts ...

Floral fragrance variation in Cypripedium: Implications for evolutionary and ecological studies
Phytochemistry, 1997The floral fragrance compositions of eight species (including two putative varieties) of Cypripedium were determined by GC-mass spectrometry. Substantial diversity in fragrance compound skeletal type was detected and included benzenoid, terpenoid and fatty alcohol derivatives.

Molecular Control of Floral Fragrance
2002Flowers of many plants attract pollinators by producing and emitting volatile compounds. The scent emitted by such flowers is typically a complex mixture of low-molecular-mass compounds (100–200 Da) which gives the flower its unique, characteristic fragrance.
