Nectar and pollen in Acer trees can contribute to improvement of food resources for pollinators

open access: yesScientific Reports
In the present study, we quantified floral resources (nectar and pollen production) and their quality (nectar sugar composition, pollen protein content, pollen amino acid composition) in five Acer species (f.

Impact of Domestication on Floral Traits and Rewards: A Comparison Between Wild and Domesticated Squash (Cucurbita)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Plant domestication primarily targets traits of direct human interest, such as fruit and seed characteristics; however, its indirect effects on other traits, including floral morphology and rewards (nectar and pollen), remain less understood.

Floral nectar production: what cost to a plant?

Biological Reviews, 2023
ABSTRACTFloral nectar production is central to plant pollination, and hence to human wellbeing. As floral nectar is essentially a solution in water of various sugars, it is likely a valuable plant resource, especially in terms of energy, with plants experiencing costs/trade‐offs associated with its production or absorption and adopting mechanisms to ...

Floral Nectar: Pollinator Attraction or Manipulation?

open access: yesTrends in Ecology & Evolution, 2016
The literature suggests that floral nectar acts principally to attract pollinator visitation (and/or revisitation), thereby enhancing plant reproductive success. However, floral nectar also manipulates pollinator behaviour during and immediately following plant visits, affecting pollen transfer, and plant reproduction. I argue that floral nectar should

Bacterial communities in floral nectar

Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2011
Summary Floral nectar is regarded as the most important reward available to animal‐pollinated plants to attract pollinators. Despite the vast amount of publications on nectar properties, the role of nectar as a natural bacterial habitat is yet unexplored.
