Phytochemicals and Volatiles in Developing <i>Pelargonium</i> ‘Endsleigh’ Flowers
Rose-scented geranium (<i>Pelargonium</i> sp.) have been the subject of many studies concerning essential oil, unlike the edible flowers of scent <i>Pelargonium</i> despite the beneficial properties of chemical compounds present in such organ and the fragrances produced. Ther...
