DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16098
Abstract: Abstract Premise Capparis spinosa is a widespread charismatic plant, in which the nocturnal floral habit contrasts with the high visitation by diurnal bees and the pronounced scarcity of hawkmoths. To resolve this discrepancy and elucidate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1820
Abstract: PREMISE Floral scent is a key aspect of plant reproduction, but its intraspecific variation at multiple scales is poorly understood. Sexual dimorphism and temporal regulation of scent can be shaped by evolution, and interpopulation variation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00709-017-1087-y
Abstract: The metathoracic scent system in Heteroptera produces and releases defensive volatile compounds. The odor produced by predatory stink bugs differs from phytophagous bugs, suggesting a variation between the structure and function of the metathoracic scent… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envexpbot.2020.104296
Abstract: Abstract Benzenoid and terpenoid volatiles are the major compounds contributing to the unique floral scent of Jasminum auriculatum. Biosynthesis and emission of specialized scent metabolites showed maturation stage specific pattern; maximum scent emission was observed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/plphys/kiad081
Abstract: Emission of scent volatiles by flowers is important for successful pollination and consequently, reproduction. Petunia (Petunia hybrida) floral scent is formed mainly by volatile products of the phenylpropanoid pathway. We identified and characterized a regulator… read more here.
