PG - 112768 LID - S0031-9422(21)00117-5 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.phytochem.2021.112768 [doi] AB - Plant defensive mimicry based on the aphid alarm pheromone (E)-beta-farnesene (EbetaF) was previously shown to operate in Tanacetum cinerariifolium (Asteraceae) flowers. Germacrene D (GD), is another dominant volatile of T. cinerariifolium flowers and may modulate both defense and pollination. Here, we find that the increase in GD/EbetaF ratio at later developmental stages is correlated with the tissue distribution in the flower head: the total content of EbetaF and GD is similar, but GD accumulates comparatively more in the upper disk florets. Naphthol and N, N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride (NADI)-stained purple ducts containing EbetaF and GD, were observed in the five petal lips of the corolla and two-lobed stigma of disk florets. By contrast in the peduncle, EbetaF accounts for nearly 80% of total terpenes, compared to 5% for GD. EbetaF is accumulated inside inner cortex cells and parenchyma cells of the pith in young peduncle. This is followed by the formation of terpene-filled axial secretory cavities parallel to the vascular bundles. In conclusion, the observed developmental and diurnal emissions of different EbetaF/GD ratios appear to be regulated by their tissue distribution. CI - Copyright (c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd.
