CONCLUSIONS
In this study, through a series of experiments conducted, we gained an insight into the different enzymatic pathways forming a diverse range of volatile end products, that together constitute the unique fragrance note of J. auriculatum flowers dominated by benzenoid and terpenoid compounds. Our results suggest that the synthesis and emission of scent volatiles in this species is predominant in a specific floral maturation stage of this short span flower. We also demonstrated that changes in air temperature modulate the scent emission in J. auriculatum flowers. Such knowledge may provide new clues for cultivation of J. auriculatumunder air-cooled polyhouse condition for better productivity in terms of harvesting of scent compounds.
