Evaluation of floral volatile patterns in the genus Narcissus using gas chromatography-coupled ion mobility spectrometry.

The GC-IMS setup can be applied to rapidly generate large amounts of pVOC data with high sensitivity and selectivity. The preliminary data on obtained here indicate both considerable pVOC variability and a good correspondence of the pVOC patterns with infrageneric classification, supporting the hypothesis that floral scent could represent a considerable phylogenetic signal.
