自古以来，花香就引起了我们的注意，人们对香水的崇拜导致了许多香水和化妆品的发明。研究不断发现新的挥发物。本文综述了花香成分及其与特定传粉者的关系，以及花香挥发物在防御反应中的作用。对于高效的植物授粉来说，重要的是准确的气味释放时间，这在花香时钟和昼夜调节的主题下进行了总结。最近的研究已经阐明了潜在的生物合成途径，以及参与调节气味合成和释放的步骤。综述了香料合成酶的一些生物技术应用。
Floral scents have caught our attention since antiquity, and the admiration for fragrances has resulted in the creation of many perfumes and cosmetics. Research continuously discovers new volatiles. This review addresses floral scent composition and its relation to specific pollinators, as well as the involvement of floral volatiles in defense reactions. Important for efficient plant pollination is the precise timing of scent emission, which is summarized under the topic of the floral scent clock and circadian regulation. Recent research has resulted in the elucidation of the underlying biosynthetic pathways, and the steps involved in the regulation of scent synthesis and emission. Some biotechnological applications of scent-synthesizing enzymes are reviewed.
