Notably, 1072 VOCs were detected in the stamens during various flowering stages, particularly on the day of flowering (S2) and the day after (S3), which were crucial for scent emission. The major contributors to the aroma included terpenoids, esters, and ketones. Transcriptome analysis identified 13,034 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) across various stages of stamen development. These DEGs were predominantly enriched in metabolic pathways and the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. The expression of DEGs closely correlated with the accumulation profiles of VOCs, which increased during stages S2 and S3, before decreasing at stage S4, two days after flowering. Integrated analysis revealed that specific structural genes from the mevalonate (MVA) and 2-<em>C</em>-methyl-D-erythritol-4-phosphate (MEP) pathways significantly influence terpenoid biosynthesis and floral aroma formation.
