An Update on the Function, Biosynthesis and Regulation of Floral Volatile Terpenoids [PDF]
Horticulturae, 2021 Floral volatile terpenoids (FVTs) belong to a group of volatile organic compounds (VOC) that play important roles in attracting pollinators, defending against pathogens and parasites and serving as signals associated with biotic and abiotic stress responses. Although research on FVTs has been increasing, a systematic generalization is lacking.

Effects of Sun Withering Degree on Black Tea Quality Revealed via Non-Targeted Metabolomics
Foods, 2023 In this study, the effects of different sun withering degrees (75% (CK), 69% (S69), 66% (S66), 63% (S63), and 60% (S60) water content in the withered leaves) on black tea sensory quality were investigated by means of sensory evaluation plus metabolomics ...

Identification of Host-Plant Volatiles and Characterization of Two Novel General Odorant-Binding Proteins from the Legume Pod Borer, Maruca vitrata Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Crambidae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Chemoreception is a key feature in selection of host plant by phytophagous insects, and odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are involved in chemical communication of both insects and vertebrates.

A Survey of the Floral Volatile Profiles of Daylily Species and Hybrids [PDF]
Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 2020 For the past century, daylily ( Hemerocallis ) hybridization focused almost exclusively on enhancing the diversity of flower forms, colors, and color patterns. This focus on the visual characteristics of daylilies resulted in the development of thousands of hybrids that come in a fantastic ...

Ecology and evolution of floral volatile‐mediated information transfer in plants [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2015 SummaryFloral volatiles are complex, multi‐functional signals that are often used by pollinators in combination with other signals, such as color. Floral visitors use floral scent to estimate the amount of reward present in flowers, to facilitate the identification of a specific host flower or as signals that chemically resemble those important for ...

Re-Rolling Treatment in the Fermentation Process Improves the Aroma Quality of Black Tea
Foods, 2023 Aroma is a vital factor influencing tea quality and value. It is a challenge to produce a kind of black tea with a floral/fruity aroma, good taste, and without a green/grassy odor simultaneously using small- and medium-leaf tea species.
