    Abstract:

    The effects of different concentrations of methyl salicylate (MeSA) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) on the volatile compounds of tulip flowers were studied. Petals of tulip were sprayed with MeSA and MeJA of 50 μmol/L, 200 μmol/L and 600 μmol/L. The volatile compounds of tulip flowers were determined and analyzed with headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed that the volatile compounds of tulip flowers mainly included alcohols, alkanes, terpenes, benzenes, ketones, and esters, with the highest total release of alcohols. The content of the six types of compounds showed different trends of changing after spraying MeSA and MeJA of different concentrations. The release of terpenes increased significantly under the treatment with 50 μmol/L MeSA or 200 μmol/L MeJA. 4-Dodecanol, (E)-β-ocimene, and trans-3-hexen-1-ol were the main volatile compounds in tulip flowers. Among them, the release of (E)-β-ocimene increased under the treatment with different concentrations of MeSA and MeJA. The release of (E)-β-ocimene under the treatment with 50 μmol/L MeSA and 200 μmol/L MeJA was 10 times and 3.3 times higher than that of the control group. It is indicated that exogenous spraying of MeJA and MeSA significantly promotes the release of volatile compounds from tulip flowers. It will provide an important theoretical basis for selecting the appropriate concentration of MeJA and MeSA to improve the fragrance of tulip flowers.
