No evidence of flowering synchronization upon floral volatiles for a short lived annual plant species: revisiting an appealing hypothesis [PDF]
BMC Ecology, 2019 Background Self-incompatible plants require simultaneous flowering mates for crosspollination and reproduction. Though the presence of flowering conspecifics and pollination agents are important for reproductive success, so far no cues that signal the ...

Characteristics of Floral Volatiles and Their Effects on Attracting Pollinating Insects in Three Bidens Species with Sympatric Distribution [PDF]
BiologyThe transition from outcrossing to self-pollination is an evolutionary process in angiosperms. However, the changes in floral volatile composition during this process and their impacts on the behavior of pollinators are poorly understood. Therefore, this

Floral Niche Selection by a Generalist Predator: Chemo-Orientation of Orius maxidentex to Celosia argentea Volatiles [PDF]
BiologyPlant volatiles are critical mediators of insect–plant interactions, guiding natural enemies to specific habitats and prey. The flower bug, Orius maxidentex Ghauri (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae), is a generalist predator that exhibits a specialized ecological

Real-Time Visualization of Scent Accumulation Reveals the Frequency of Floral Scent Emissions
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Flowers emit a bouquet of volatiles to attract pollinators or to protect flowers from pathogen and herbivore attacks. Most floral volatiles are synthesized in the cytoplasm of petals and released into the headspace at a specific time of day.
