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.

Concerning the issue of early diagnostics of low tannin content in faba bean seeds (Vicia faba L.)
Труды по прикладной ботанике, генетике и селекции, 2023 Background. The use of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) as a feed and food plant is hindered by the presence of antinutritional substances and in particular phenolic compounds – tannins – in the seed coat. The existence of low-tannin or zero-tannin forms in the

Extrafloral nectaries in Nephelium lappaceum (Sapindaceae)
Botanical Sciences, 2022 Background: There is no previous evidence in the literature that documents the presence of extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) or the exomorphology of domatia in Nephelium lappaceum (rambutan), a fruit tree native to Malaysia introduced in various American countries.

The phylogenetic distribution of extrafloral nectaries in plants [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2012 Understanding the evolutionary patterns of ecologically relevant traits is a central goal in plant biology. However, for most important traits, we lack the comprehensive understanding of their taxonomic distribution needed to evaluate their evolutionary mode and tempo across the tree of life. Here we evaluate the broad phylogenetic patterns of a common

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Thousands of plants produce both extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) on their leaves and nutrient‐rich appendages on their diaspores (elaiosomes). Although their individual ecology is well‐known, any possible functional link between these structures has almost ...

European Journal of Entomology, 2021 Ants are common invertebrate models of many myrmecomorphic arthropods since they are unpalatable and pose a threat for many species. Natural habitats harbour a diverse community of different species of ants and their mimics.

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.

Sociobiology, 2017 Brazilian Savanna stands out for the large number of species with extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) with high morphological diversity. In Smilax polyantha (Smilacaceae), the base of the petiole showed a slight secretion and great visitation by ants suggesting

Sociobiology, 2023 The emergence of graph theory allowed using the complex network approach to aggregate detailed information about interactions between species. Although the use of the complex network approach has improved the understanding about community structuring ...
