Model Plants and Functional Genomic Approaches Applied to the Characterization of Genes Involved in Floral Scent Biosynthesis
Résumé
Flower scents have been subjected to extensive chemical characterization for many years, providing detailed analyses of the complex mixture of volatiles emitted by flowers. However, the past ten years have seen a rapid acceleration of progress in flower scent research, with the characterization of numerous genes involved in scent biosynthesis. This review focuses on the evolution of flower scent research, from the early biochemical to the present genomic approaches, illustrating how the use of different plant models, combined with functional genomic approaches, contributed to the present knowledge in this field.
