Measuring, comparing and interpreting phenotypic selection on floral scent [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2022 Natural selection on floral scent composition is a key element of the hypothesis that pollinators and other floral visitors drive scent evolution. The measure of such selection is complicated by the high-dimensional nature of floral scent data and ...

Why Do Floral Perfumes Become Different? Region-Specific Selection on Floral Scent in a Terrestrial Orchid. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Geographically structured phenotypic selection can lead to adaptive divergence. However, in flowering plants, such divergent selection has rarely been shown, and selection on floral signals is generally little understood.

Identification of long non-coding RNAs involved in floral scent of Rosa hybrida [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were found to play important roles in transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and epigenetic gene regulation in various biological processes. However, lncRNAs and their regulatory roles remain poorly studied in horticultural

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

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

Floral scent changes in response to pollen removal are rare in buzz-pollinated Solanum. [PDF]
PlantaFloral scent influences the recruitment, learning, and behaviour of floral visitors. Variation in floral scent can provide information on the amount of reward available or whether a flower has been visited recently and may be particularly important in ...
