Abstract excerpt
Vaccinium corymbosum (highbush blueberry) in British Columbia relies on honeybee pollination for a reliable fruit set. As floral volatiles may help explain pollinator preference for blueberry, we surveyed components of variation for volatiles using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Principal component analysis of GC chromatogram peaks revealed a grouping of cultivars by a biosynthetic pathway that...
