Abstract
The odoriferous compounds produced at the time of flowering by the inflorescences of 5 arum lily species were condensed in dry ice traps. The components of the condensates were separated by paper chromatography and identified on the basis of position and color reactions in comparison with known compounds. The concentration of free amino acids in the appendix of Sauromatum guttatum Schott increased 20-fold during flowering.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
