🪻 #Lavenders emit the VOCs through their calyx, the tube-shaped support of the #flower. 🪻It is covered with the famous trichomes that contain the essential oil. 🪻Over 50% of this essential oil is made up of linalool and linalyl acetate, but it also contains many other substances. #science

🪻Lavenders are small shrubs that grow naturally in dry or arid environments, often at altitude (up to 1800 m). They cover around 40 wild species a few spontaneous hybrids and two species cultivated on a large scale for their essential oils. Read more ⬇️

👃What do you think Pelargonium ‘Concolor Lace’ leaves smell like❓ Orange 🍊 Mint 🌿 Hazelnut 🌰 The answer on the post bellow

Citronellol biosynthesis in pelargonium is a multistep pathway involving progesterone 5β-reductase and/or iridoid synthase-like enzymes, Plant Physiology, Volume 194, Issue 2, February 2024, Pages 1006–1023, L. Martinelli et ac. doi.org/10.1093/plph...

🔎 The secretory glands are responsible for the emission of essential oil in several plants. As you now know from a previous post, in pelargoniums, they are found on the leaves They are formed by small outgrowths called 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬.At their end, inside a round cuticle is the fragrant essential oil

As promised - here is the other link. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... A story of #liverworts #bryophytes and their chemistry, bringing new enzymes to #plantscience and the #biochemistry of smaller plants. Thanks to all people involved ;) Part of our work at @lbvpam.bsky.social
