Identification of Floral Scent Profiles in Bearded Irises [PDF]

open access: yesMolecules, 2019
Bearded irises are ornamental plants with distinctive floral fragrance grown worldwide. To identify the floral scent profiles, twenty-seven accessions derived from three bearded iris, including Iris. germanica, I. pumila and I.

Labellum Features and Chemical Composition of Floral Scent in Bulbophyllum carunculatum Garay, Hamer & Siegrist (Section Lepidorhiza Schltr., Bulbophyllinae Schltr., Orchidaceae Juss.) [PDF]

open access: yesPlants, 2023
The vast majority of fly-pollinated Bulbophyllum species use a combination of visual and olfactory clues to mimic food sources and brood/oviposition sites of pollinators.

Reinforced colour preference of parasitoid wasps in the presence of floral scent: a case study of a cross-modal effect [PDF]

open access: yesAnimal Cognition
We examined the possibility of a cross-modal effect in naïve Cotesia vestalis, a parasitoid wasp of diamondback moth larvae, by using artificial flower models of four colours (blue, green, yellow, and red) in the absence or presence of floral scent ...

Pollination mode determines floral scent [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Systematics and Ecology, 2021
The main objective of this study is to determine if the pollination vector influences the potential floral emissions of flowering plants. We hypothesized that flowers pollinated by insects would emit significantly higher amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and would present a higher diversity of these compounds than flowers pollinated by wind.

Variation in scent amount but not in composition correlates with pollinator visits within populations of deceptive Arum maculatum L. (Araceae)

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Floral scent is vital for pollinator attraction and varies among and within plant species. However, little is known about how inter-individual variation in floral scent affects the abundance and composition of floral visitor assemblages within ...

Humans Share More Preferences for Floral Phenotypes With Pollinators Than With Pests

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Studies on the selection of floral traits usually consider pollinators and sometimes herbivores. However, humans also exert selection on floral traits of ornamental plants.

Study on the floral scent components of Lilium amoenum with rose fragrance and Lilium bakerianum var. rubrum with orange fragrance

open access: yes浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2021
Headspace-solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) combined techniques were used to analyse qualitatively and quantitatively the volatile substances of five different types of lilies.

The Nighttime Fragrance of Guettarda scabra (Rubiaceae): Flower Scent and Its Implications for Moth Pollination

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
Floral scent is crucial for attracting pollinators, especially in plants that bloom at night. However, chemical profiles of flowers from nocturnal plants with varied floral morphs are poorly documented, limiting our understanding of their pollination ...

Sources of floral scent variation [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Signaling & Behavior, 2009
Studies of floral scent generally assume that genetic adaptation due to pollinator-mediated natural selection explains a significant amount of phenotypic variance, ignoring the potential for phenotypic plasticity in this trait. In this paper, we assess this latter possibility, looking first at previous studies of floral scent variation in relation to ...
