A method of enhancing insect assisted cross-pollination between flowering plants of a single plant species, the flowering plants being of at least two different genetic backgrounds (e.g., different cultivars). The method is effected by co-expressing in plants of the at least two different genetic backgrounds at least one scent biosynthetic enzyme and growing the plants in a cross-pollination vicinity in a presence of at least one pollinating insect.
