Sugar and Polyphenolic Diversity in Floral Nectar of Cherry [PDF]
, 2018 Cherries (Prunus avium L. and Prunus cerasus L.) are economically important fruit species in the temperate region. Both are entomophilous fruit species, thus need pollinators to give high yields. Since cherry’s flower is easy-to-reach, bees and other pollinators can smoothly collect nectar as a reward for doing transfer of pollen to receptive stigma ...

Nectar in Plant–Insect Mutualistic Relationships: From Food Reward to Partner Manipulation
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 It has been known for centuries that floral and extra-floral nectar secreted by plants attracts and rewards animals. Extra-floral nectar is involved in so-called indirect defense by attracting animals (generally ants) that prey on herbivores, or by ...

The occurrence and significance of amino acids in floral nectar
Plant Systematics and Evolution, 1986 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Approximately 1 500 angiosperm species, in previous papers, have been sampled for the assessment of the amino acids (a. a.) in their nectar. We reaffirm that the findings provide statistically significant data linking differences ~n the concentration with pollinator type. Flowers that are pollinated by

Eco-evolutionary processes shaping floral nectar sugar composition
Scientific ReportsFloral nectar sugar composition is assumed to reflect the nutritional demands and foraging behaviour of pollinators, but the relative contributions of evolutionary and abiotic factors to nectar sugar composition remain largely unknown across the ...

Drought response and urban-pollinator attractiveness of ornamental plant species
Basic and Applied EcologyFaced with pollinator declines, cities could serve as refuges for biodiversity conservation by managing floral resources in public green spaces. Ornamental plants could play an important role in attracting pollinators because they form part of urban ...

Floral nectar production in Helleborus foetidus: an ultrastructural study
Botany, 2012 The floral nectaries of Helleborus foetidus L. were studied using scanning and transmission electron microscopy, as well as light microscopy. Nectaries are tubular and consist of an external epidermis, a photosynthesizing parenchyma, large branches of vascular tissue, a nectar-producing parenchyma, and an internal epidermis.

The limitations of the methods of identifying the floral source of honeys [PDF]
, 1998 The pollen grains in honey reveal the types of plants that were around when the bees produced the honey, thus it is valid to use melissopalynology to determine the geographical origin of honeys, but there are several reasons why it is less valid for ...

Nectar Removal Experiment: Repeated Measures- Floral Nectar
, 2016 The purpose of this experiment was to determine if extrafloral and floral nectar production trade off. The endpoint data included in a different spreadsheet was recorded from the last three days of this experiment.
