Floral Scents in Bee-Pollinated Buckwheat and Oilseed Rape under a Global Warming Scenario
Insects, 2023 Many wild plants and crops are pollinated by insects, which often use floral scents to locate their host plants. The production and emission of floral scents are temperature-dependent; however, little is known about how global warming affects scent ...

Epiphytic Bacteria Alter Floral Scent Emissions [PDF]
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2017 Floral scents are key mediators of biotic interactions between flowers and various organisms such as pollinators, antagonistic animals and bacteria. It has been shown that emissions of floral volatiles are influenced by interactions with other organisms at the levels of roots, leaves and flowers. However, it is largely unknown whether and how epiphytic

Chemical and Sensorial Characterization of Scented and Non-Scented Alstroemeria Hybrids
Horticulturae, 2022 Floral scent plays an important ecological role attracting pollinators. Its composition has been elucidated for a vast diversity of species and is dominated by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as monoterpenoids, sesquiterpenoids, phenylpropanoids ...

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.
