Unravelling the Homology between Calycine Glands in Malpighiales: New Data from Basal Malpighiaceae [PDF]
PlantsDiscussing homology relationships among secretory structures remains a relatively underexplored area in botanical research. These structures are widely dispersed within Malpighiales, one of the largest orders of eudicots.

Extrafloral nectaries in Combretaceae: morphology, anatomy and taxonomic significance
Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 2004 Extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) in members of the Combretaceae are nectaries not involved with pollination and occurring on vegetative structures; they are believed to attract ants to protect plants against herbivorv by other insects.

Sequential Defense Strategies: From Ant Recruitment to Leaf Toughness [PDF]
PlantsPlants express many types of defenses in response to herbivory damage. These defenses can be displayed as a sequence or they can overlap, increasing efficiency in protection.

Towards an attract-and-reward strategy: evaluating nectar resources and HIPVs under laboratory conditions to enhance Aphelinus mali parasitism activity, a key parasitoid of Eriosoma lanigerum. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciEuphorbia segetalis is a promising attractant insectary plant for Aphelinus mali. Meanwhile, Vicia faba and Vicia sativa are a promising nectar resource to sustain the parasitoid in early spring when the population of Eriosoma lanigerum is low, and honeydew is scarce.

Structure and histology of extrafloral nectaries of tropical species in a mexican rain forest
Bioscience Journal, 2016 Although there is a large diversity of plant species with extrafloral nectaries, histological detail of these glands is poorly documented in tropical rain forest species.
