Floral scent analysis in Hieracium subgenus Pilosella and its taxonomical implications

Floral Scent Chemistry of Luculia yunnanensis (Rubiaceae), a Species Endemic to China with Sweetly Fragrant Flowers

“…Component identification was carried out using NIST 2008 mass spectral database and confirmed by the comparison of their linear retention index ( LRI ) with published data [ 15 ]. Identification of individual components could be confirmed by the comparison of both mass spectrum and GC retention data with those of authentic standards [ 32 ]. A series of n-alkane standards (C6-C19) (Accu Standard, New Haven, CT, USA) were analyzed under the same conditions to obtain LRI values for the volatile compounds.…”

Strong phylogenetic effects on floral scent variation of oil‐secreting orchids in South Africa

“…An important constraint on pollinator‐mediated selection of scent compounds is phylogenetic inertia. Assessing the importance of plant phylogeny in affecting floral scent composition comes mainly from studies that have considered the utility of scent data for taxonomic or phylogenetic reconstruction (i.e., Barkman et al, 1997; Barkman, 2001; Levin, et al, 2003; Feulner et al, 2009) rather than in an ecological context as a constraint on pollinator‐mediated selection per se (see Peakall et al, 2010). The consensus from these studies is that scent data can provide some phylogenetic signal, but most scent compounds are homoplasious.…”

Ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry, and bioactivities of Hieracium L. and Pilosella Hill (Cichorieae, Asteraceae) species

“…18. Primary metabolites such as fatty acids, as well as monoterpenes detected by GC-MS analyses are not included (Feulner et al, 2009(Feulner et al, , 2011Ugur et al, 2010). Clifford and Abrankó (2017) pointed out the ambiguous nature of the trivial name isochlorogenic acid refering to different (di-)caffeoylquinic acids in literature.…”
