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 ...

Ants as flower visitors : floral ant-repellence and the impact of ant scent-marks on pollinator behaviour [PDF]
, 2012 As flower visitors, ants rarely benefit a plant, commonly disrupting pollination by deterring other flower visitors, or stealing nectar. This thesis examines three aspects of ant-flower interactions, focusing on the occurrence of floral traits that ...

Measuring, comparing and interpreting phenotypic selection on floral scent. [PDF]
J Evol Biol, 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 ...

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 ...

Diversity, 2022 Floral scent has been thought to play a critical role in the obligate pollination–seed consumption mutualism between Breynia (Phyllanthaceae) species and Epicephala moths. The two closely related Breynia species, B. fruticosa and B.

Dependency on floral resources determines the animals’ responses to floral scents [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2010 Animal-pollinated angiosperms either depend on cross-pollination or may also reproduce after self-pollination - the former are thus obligately, the latter facultatively dependent on the service of animal-pollinators. Analogously, flower visitors either solely feed on floral resources or complement their diet with these, and are hence dependent or not ...

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.

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

Herbivory by a phloem-feeding insect inhibits floral volatile production [PDF]
, 2012 There is extensive knowledge on the effects of insect herbivory on volatile emission from vegetative tissue, but little is known about its impact on floral volatiles.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Floral scent is a key mediator in plant-pollinator interactions. However, little is known to what extent intraspecific scent variation is shaped by phenotypic selection, with no information yet in deceptive plants.
