Testing the effect of individual scent compounds on pollinator attraction in nature using quasi-isogenic Capsella lines.

The successful construction of scent-manipulated Capsella materials using qILs provides a powerful system to study the ecological effects of individual floral scent compounds under largely natural environments. In Capsella, individual BAld and β-ocimene emission may act as attractants for different types of pollinators. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
