Floral scent diversity and evolution in deceptive Cypripedium, and post-pollination effects on floral scent and its biosynthesis in C. henryi
Background and Aims: Floral scent is a primary driver of pollinator attraction and reproductive isolation in deceptive orchids. Yet, little is known about the variation and evolution of scent in a phylogenetic framework and how pollination affects the biosynthesis and emission of scents in these lineages. This study characterizes scent diversity across Cypripedium, a genus of deceptive orchids,…
