Summary
The first book of its kind, Biology of Floral Scent provides comprehensive coverage of state-of-the-art floral scent research. Combining literature on plant reproduction into a single volume, the book explains how and where various scent compounds are made and how they are emitted. It explores the major aspects of floral scent b
