This chapter reviews the structures and abundances of the chemical compound groups in a
wider range of plants, and discusses various aspects of variation in floral scent chemistry …

The widespread use of synthetic chemical pesticides beginning in the late 1930s has
contributed to the development of insecticide resistance of many important species of pest …

A list of 1719 chemical compounds identified from headspace samples of floral scent is
presented. The list has been compiled from some 270 published papers, including analyses …

For the past 40 years, the ecology and evolution of plant secondary metabolites have been
major foci of investigation. We use one class of secondary metabolites, the terpenes, as a …

This chapter provides a general survey of the literature of floral fragrance chemistry in
relation to pollinator type and presents a tentative effort to uncover possible associations …

Carotenoids are thought to be the precursors of terpenoid volatile compounds that contribute
to flavor and aroma. One such volatile, β-ionone, is important to fragrance in many flowers …

GC–MS analyses of nocturnal and diurnal floral volatiles from nine tobacco species
(Nicotiana; Solanaceae) resulted in the identification of 125 volatiles, including mono-and …

Despite recent interest in the non‐sugar components of floral nectar, nearly nothing is
known about the ecological importance and phylogenetic distribution of scented nectar. If …

The quantitative and qualitative variability in floral scent of 98 specimens of the dioecious
species Silene latifolia belonging to 15 European and 19 North American populations was …

Petunia hybrida line W115 (Mitchell) has large white flowers that produce a pleasant
fragrance. By applying solid phase micro extraction (SPME) techniques coupled to GC–MS …
