Abstract: Floral fragrance and flower color are important ornamental traits of flower crops, which are key factors that determine flower quality and affect flower economic values. Therefore, cultivating new flower varieties with rich floral colors and pleasant flowers has long been the main breeding goal of horticulturists. As a representative of bulb cut flower varieties, Freesia hybrida has bright flowers and pleasant aroma. This paper reviews the metabolic pathways and transcriptional regulation networks of the floral pigments and volatile organic compounds, and the potential applications of anthocyanin and terpenoids synthesis is also prospected.
