Claims54
A method for modifying the biosynthesis of at least one floral scent in a plant, the method comprising the step of:
- applying to a plant an effective amount of a composition comprising at least one floral scent precursor which modifies the biosynthesis of a floral scent in a plant.
A method for modifying the emission of at least one floral scent from a plant, the method comprising the step of:
- applying to a plant an effective amount of a composition comprising at least one floral scent precursor which modifies the emission of a floral scent from a plant.
A method for modifying the biosynthesis of a floral scent in a plant cutting, the method comprising the step of:
- exposing a plant cutting to an effective amount of a composition comprising at least one floral scent precursor which modifies the biosynthesis of a floral scent in the cutting.
A method for modifying the emission of a floral scent from a plant cutting, the method comprising the step of:
- exposing a plant cutting to an effective amount of a composition comprising at least one floral scent precursor which modifies the emission of a floral scent from the cutting.
A method for attracting a pollinator to a plant, the method comprising the step of:
- applying to a plant an effective amount of a composition comprising at least one floral scent precursor which increases the emission of a floral scent from a plant, wherein the increased emission of said floral scent from the plant is sufficient to attract at least one pollinator to said plant.
A method for attracting a plant pest to a plant, the method comprising the step of:
- applying to a plant an effective amount of a composition comprising at least one floral scent precursor which increases the emission of a floral scent from a plant, wherein the increased emission of said floral scent from the plant is sufficient to attract at least one plant pest to said plant.
A method for increasing the floral scent emission from a plant in order to facilitate the identification of at least one volatile compound from said plant, the method comprising the step of:
- applying to a plant an effective amount of a composition comprising at least one floral scent precursor which increases the emission of a floral scent from a plant, wherein the increased emission of said floral scent from the plant is sufficient to facilitate the identification of at least one volatile compound from said plant.
