Asteraceae Genomic Research Platform
The scent of flowers not only helps plants attract pollinating insects but also releases specific odors to repel natural enemies. By collecting volatile organic compounds from currently sequenced Asteraceae flowers, we have compiled 812 volatile organic compounds from 87 species. We screened 27,858 candidate genes potentially involved in the synthesis of these compounds. Specifically, we detected 21 VOCs from the flowers of S. canadensis using gas chromatograph. Users can search for compounds to obtain their Formula, CAS, Type, PubChem CID, Species, Literature, KO_Number, Gene_IDs, and Structural Formula Image.
