“…The scent profiles of Trumpet hybrids were in accordance with their ancestors including L. sargentiae, L. sulphureum, and L. regale, whereas another ancestor L. henryi is nonscented and hardly emitted volatiles. The emission difference in (E)-b-ocimene was also observed in L. sulphureum (Kong et al, 2013(Kong et al, , 2017McRae, 1998). The parentage of 'White Present' is unknown (Royal Horticultural Society, 2012) and presumably derived from L. longiflorum, whereas 'Augusta' is an interspecific hybrid derived from L. longiflorum and L. formosanum.…”

“…This task is hindered by a lack of floral scent research in lily. Previous studies on Lilium species and lily cut flowers demonstrated that scented lilies showed a nocturnal emission pattern, and their major volatiles were monoterpenoids and benzenoids, with the tepals as the source of floral scent (Kong et al, 2012(Kong et al, , 2013Morinaga et al, 2009;Oyama-Okubo et al, 2011). A detailed volatile profile for a large group of cultivars has not yet been undertaken.…”

Lilium cultivars have a wide range of variation in floral scent phenotypes. Using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analyses of volatile emissions during the night, the floral scent compositions of 35 lily cultivars from seven different hybrid groups were studied. The results showed that there was a positive correlation between volatile emission levels and scent intensities. Nonscented lily cultivars belonging to Asiatic hybrids hardly emitted volatiles, light-scented Longiflorum × Asiatic hybrids emitted low levels of volatiles, and scented lily cultivars (belonging to Oriental, Trumpet, Longiflorum, Longiflorum × Oriental, and Oriental × Trumpet hybrids) emitted significantly high levels of volatiles. In general, the scent compositions of lily cultivars were similar within the same hybrid group, and the differences among hybrid groups reflect their pedigree. Monoterpenoids and benzenoids dominated the floral scents of most volatile-emitting lily cultivars, whereas monoterpenoids alone dominated the floral scents of some volatile-emitting lilies. Although various scent compounds were released from volatile-emitting lily cultivars, the dominant scent compounds were focused on three monoterpenoids [1.8-cineole, linalool, and (E)-β-ocimene] and one benzenoid (methyl benzoate). The scent traits of lily cultivars could be traced back to their parents.

“…Previous studies have focused on the identification and emission patterns of volatiles in lily flowers. These studies showed that monoterpenoids and benzenoids were the major compounds of lily scent (Morinaga et al, 2009;Kong et al, 2012Kong et al, , 2013 and petals are the main emission source of fragrance compounds, while other floral parts released little or no volatiles (Kong et al, 2012). Additionally, scent emission was regulated during the flowering stages .…”

ABSTRACT. In lily flowers, the volatile ester methyl benzoate is one of the major and abundant floral scent compounds; however, knowledge regarding the biosynthesis of methyl benzoate remains unknown for Lilium. In this study, we isolated a benzoic acid/salicylic acid carboxyl methyltransferase (BSMT) gene, LiBSMT, from petals of Lilium 'Yelloween'. The gene has an open reading frame of 1083 base pairs (bp) and encodes a protein of 41.05 kDa. Sequence alignment and phylogenetic analyses of LiBSMT revealed 40-50% similarity with other known benzenoid carboxyl methyltransferases in other plant species, and revealed homology to BSMT of Oryza sativa.

“…Floral scent is a desirable feature for ornamental plants; previous studies have determined the scent compounds and patterns of release for several ornamental species such as Lilium [29], Jasminum sambac [30], and Osmanthus fragrans [31]. There are many factors affecting the type and content of floral fragrance, but it mainly depends on the genetic characteristics of the taxa.…”

Lycoris, which is known as the ‘Chinese tulip,’ has diverse flower colors and shapes, and some species have a delicate fragrance. However, limited studies have reported the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of Lycoris. In this study, headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to analyze the floral VOCs of six typical Lycoris taxa. Thirty-two VOCs were identified, including terpenoids, alcohols, esters, aldehydes, ketones, and phenols. The aldehyde and terpenoid contents in Lycoris aurea were higher than in the other taxa, and the ester and alcohol contents in L. sprengeri were the highest compared to all taxa tested. Compared with other species and cultivars, L. longituba and L. longituba var. flava were the two most scented taxa and the VOCs were dominated by terpenoids and esters. L. radiate and L. chinensis were two unscented taxa and, accordingly, the VOC content was weak. A partial least squares discriminate analysis of the floral VOCs among the six Lycoris taxa showed that the six taxa could be successfully separated. Moreover, the VOCs of L. longituba and L. longituba var. flava clustered together. β-Ocimene was verified as the most important aroma compound, as determined via the calculation of the variable importance in projection values and significance analysis. β-Ocimene and its trans isomer, trans-β-ocimene, had a high relative content in L. longituba, L. longituba var. flava, L. aurea, and L. chinensis but were not detected in L. sprengeri and L. radiata. These results indicate that floral VOCs might be selected during the evolutional processes of Lycoris, and β-ocimene could be the most typical VOC among the different Lycoris taxa.
