| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In a highly specific interaction between plant and pollinator, it is known that they speciate in parallel. I hypothesized and tested that geographic changes in floral scent lead the reproductive isolation of both plant and pollinator among different populations. The results showed following three points, (1) there are differences in floral scent composition between populations, (2) genetic variation tends to be found between populations along with different floral scent profiles, and (3) there is no difference in the receptive ability of pollinator moths between such populations. Further study to study whether there are some differences in the behavior of pollinator moths to floral scents in each population is needed.
