A novel rapid, simple and solvent-free method was developed for determination of the volatile compounds from the flowers of Chimonanthus praecox Link using headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The SPME conditions were firstly optimized and applied to sampling of the volatile compounds emitted from living Chimonanthus praecox L. flowers and excised Chimonanthus praecox L. flowers. Thirty-one compounds emitted from living flowers were identified for the first time, which mainly included 4-methyl-1,3-pentadiene (2.0%), a-phellandrene (4.7%), benzyl methanol (11.1%), trans-linalool oxide (furanyl ring) (5.3%), a-linalool (36.0%), methyl salicylate (24.5%) and acetic acid benzyl ester (5.9%). Comparing the emission from living flowers and excised flowers, twenty-eight compounds were found to be detected in the two emissions, and three compounds, n-pentadecane, n-cetane and n-heptadecane, were only found in the emission from the living flowers, which shows that they might be biomarker compounds.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the importance of flower characteristics, especially stamen traits, highlighting their impact on ornamental value and reproductive success, with a focus on discovering red coloration in stamens.
- - Using UPLC-MS/MS, researchers found that the red color in stamens is mainly due to high levels of anthocyanins, specifically cyanidin 3-O-rutinoside and cyanidin 3-O-glucoside, supported by transcriptomic data showing key gene expressions during the bud stage.
- - The findings reveal similarities between the mechanisms of stamen and petal reddening, suggesting potential genetic resource applications for enhancing stamen color in ornamental plants.

(Calycanthaceae family) is a unique ornamental and economic flowering tree in China, and after thousands of years of cultivation, it has produced several varieties and varietal types. Notably, male sterility is common in flowering plants and is an important tool for the genetic improvement in plants and optimization using hybrid plant technology; however, there have been no reports on male-sterile material or related studies on . To our knowledge, this is the first time that male sterility is dissected unveiling the involvement of key metabolic pathways.

, a member of the Calycanthaceae family, is a unique, traditional, and famous flowering economic tree species in China. Despite the existence of several varieties, only a few cultivars have been formally named. Currently, expression sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers are extensively used to identify different species and varieties; a large number of microsatellites can be identified from transcriptome databases.
