Floral volatile terpenoids (FVTs) belong to a group of volatile organic compounds (VOC) that
play important roles in attracting pollinators, defending against pathogens and parasites and …

In several highly specialized plant-insect interactions, scent-mediated specificity of pollinator
attraction is directed by the emission and detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) …

Glasshouse plants are species that trap warmth via specialized morphology and physiology,
mimicking a human glasshouse. In the Himalayan alpine region, the highly specialized …

Subnival glasshouse plants provide a text-book example of high-altitude adaptation with
reproductive organs enclosed in specialized semi-translucent bracts, monocarpic …

Many plant species attract insect pollinators through chemical mimicry of their oviposition
sites, often detaining them in a trap chamber that ensures pollen transfer. These plant …

The communication between flowers and pollinators is the essential feature of sexual
reproduction in zoophilous flowering plants and helps to ensure pollen transfer between …

Plants have long been thought to be less dependent on pollinators for seed production at
higher elevations due to adverse pollination environments. However, recent research has …
