Plants emit a diverse array of volatile organic compounds that can function as cues to other
plants. Plants can use volatiles emitted by neighbors to gain information about their …

A major transition in flowering plants has been the evolution of separate sexes from
hermaphroditism via gynodioecy which is considered to be the most important route. Biotic …

In nursery pollination mutualisms, which are usually obligate interactions, olfactory attraction
of pollinators by floral volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is the main step in guaranteeing …

Abstract Greenhouse tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) production relies on pollination
by commercially-produced bumble bee (Bombus impatiens Cresson) colonies. Inadequate …

The food deceptive orchid, Dactylorhiza romana (Sebastiani) Soó exhibits a colour
polymorphism with yellow, red, and intermediate orange morphs. In this study we tested if …

Floral scent bouquets are both chemically and functionally highly diverse and are composed
of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are attractive to pollinators, repellent to …

Self‐pollination by plants gives rise to inbreeding depression. There is increasing
recognition that plant inbreeding can have significant implications for interactions between …

Many plants require animal pollinators for successful reproduction; these plants provide
pollinator resources in pollen and nectar (rewards) and attract pollinators by specific cues …

BACKGROUND Crop breeding programmes generally select for traits for improved yield and
human consumption preferences. Yet, they often overlook one fundamental trait essential for …

Covering: up to the end of 2014 The field of chemical ecology was established, in large part,
through collaborative studies between biologists and chemists with common interests in the …
