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.

Genetic and evolution analysis of extrafloral nectary in cotton [PDF]
Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2020 SummaryExtrafloral nectaries are a defence trait that plays important roles in plant–animal interactions. Gossypium species are characterized by cellular grooves in leaf midribs that secret large amounts of nectar. Here, with a panel of 215 G. arboreum accessions, we compared extrafloral nectaries to nectariless accessions to identify a region of Chr12

Ants monopolise plant resources by shelter-construction [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2001 In Ecuadorean Amazonas, Crematogaster ants (Myrmicinae) were observed to construct shelters of debris and plant trichomes covering and hiding extrafloral nectaries of Passiflora auriculata vines.

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 The extrafloral nectaries (30-50) are found on the upper surface of the lamina in Macaranga peltata. Glandular trichomes are restricted to the lower surface while eglandular trichomes are observed on all vegetative and reproductive organs.

Apoplasmic barrier in the extrafloral nectary of Citharexylum myrianthum (Verbenaceae)
Planta, 2021 The cytological changes underlying the formation of an apoplasmic barrier in the multi-layered extrafloral nectaries of Citharexylum myrianthum are compatible with the synthesis, transport and deposition of suberin. In terms of ontogenesis and function, the intermediate layers of these nectaries are homologous with the stalks of nectar-secreting ...
