Optimization of SPME-GC-MS and characterization of floral scents from Aquilegia japonica and A. amurensis flowers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The floral scents of plants play a key role in plant reproduction through the communication between plants and pollinators. Aquilegia as a model species for studying evolution, however, there have been few studies on the floral scents and relationships between floral scents and pollination for Aquilegia taxa.

Methods

In this study, three types of solid-phase micro-extraction (SPME) fiber coatings (DVB/PDMS, CAR/PDMS, DVB/CAR/PDMS) were evaluated for their performance in extracting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from flowers of Aquilegia amurensis, which can contribute to the future studies of elucidating the role of floral scents in the pollination process.

Results

In total, 55 VOCs were identified, and among them, 50, 47 and 45 VOCs were extracted by th
