Comparative Nectary Morphology across Cleomaceae (Brassicales)
Plants, 2023 Floral nectaries have evolved multiple times and rapidly diversified with the adaptive radiation of animal pollinators. As such, floral nectaries exhibit extraordinary variation in location, size, shape, and secretory mechanism.

STRUCTURE AND HISTOCHEMISTRY OF THE FLORAL NECTARY OF Bauhinia monandra (FABACEAE)
Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2023 The structure and histochemistry of the floral nectary of Bauhinia monandra Kurz (Fabaceae) were investigated. Besides possessing medicinal properties, this tree is also used in the recovery of degraded areas and urban arborization.

Nectar secretion in a dry habitat: structure of the nectary in two endangered Mexican species of Barkeria (Orchidaceae) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Barkeria scandens and B. whartoniana are endangered, endemic taxa from Mexico. They are epiphytes adapted to dry habitats. Since these plants are xerophytic, their flowers were investigated for structural adaptations to nectar secretion.

Nectary structure of Ornithidium sophronitis Rchb.F. (Orchidaceae: Maxillariinae)
Acta Agrobotanica, 2012 Most orchids do not produce floral food-rewards. Instead, they attract pollinators by mimicry or deceit. When present, the most common floral food-reward is nectar.

THE FLORAL AND EXTRA‐FLORAL NECTARIES OF PASSIFLORA. I. THE FLORAL NECTARY
American Journal of Botany, 1981 Floral nectary development and nectar secretion in three species of Passiflora were investigated with light and electron microscopy. The nectary ring results from the activity of an intercalary meristem. Increased starch deposition in the amyloplasts of the secretory cells parallels maturation of the nectary phloem.

Geraniales flowers revisited: evolutionary trends in floral nectaries [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2016 The detailed relationships in Geraniales in their current circumscription have only recently been clarified. The disparate floral morphologies and especially the nectaries of the corresponding group have consequently not previously been studied in a phylogenetic context.The present study investigates floral and especially nectary morphology and ...

Floral biological investigations of apple cultivars in relation to fire blight
International Journal of Horticultural Science, 2004 Floral activity was studied in two apple cultivars: an Erwinia-tolerant (Treedorn') and a sensitive one (`Sampion'). Since more types of protogyny occur in apples, the period of stigma activity is different.
