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.
