Zhang, Tengxun published the artcileA comparative analysis of floral scent compounds in intraspecific cultivars of Prunus mume with different corolla colours, Product Details of C9H10O2, the main research area is Prunus floral volatile compound; HS-SPME-GC-MS; Prunus mume; floral scent; intraspecific cultivars; phenylpropanoids/benzenoids; volatile compounds.
Prunus mume is the only fragrant flowering species of Prunus. According to the previous studies, benzyl acetate and eugenol dominate its floral scent. However, the diversity of its floral scents remains to be elucidated. In this work, the floral volatiles emitted from eight intraspecific cultivars of P. mume with white, pink and red flowers, were collected and analyzed using headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatograms-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS). In total, 31 volatile compounds were identified, in which phenylpropanoids/benzenoids accounted for over 95% of the total emission amounts Surprisingly, except for benzyl acetate and eugenol, several novel components, such as benzyl alc., cinnamyl acohol, cinnamy acetate, and benzyl benzoate were found in some cultivars. The composition of floral volatiles in cultivars with white flowers was similar, in which benzyl acetate was dominant, while within pink flowers, there were differences of floral volatile compositions Principal component anal. (PCA) showed that the emissions of benzyl alc., cinnamyl alc., benzyl acetate, eugenol, cinnamyl acetate, and benzyl benzoate could make these intraspecific cultivars distinguishable from each other. Further, hierarchical cluster anal. indicated that cultivars with similar a category and amount of floral compounds were grouped together. Our findings lay a theor. basis for fragrant plant breeding in P. mume.
