Article Synopsis
- Floral biochemistry and stress physiology play a crucial role in the preservation of mangroves, as highlighted in a study of Bruguiera gymnorrhiza and Heritiera fomes in India’s Sundarban region.
- Both species showed significant seasonal variations in floral characteristics, such as volatile compounds, antioxidant enzyme activities, and phytochemical content, which may impact their survival and reproduction.
- The study revealed distinct adaptations: B. gymnorrhiza flowers are enriched in different volatile compounds across seasons, while H. fomes has protective structures that optimize its flowering under specific salinity conditions.
