Genome-wide identification, phylogeny, evolution, and expression patterns of MtN3/saliva/SWEET genes and functional analysis of BcNS in Brassica rapa

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Members of the MtN3/saliva/SWEET gene family are present in various organisms and are highly conserved. Their precise biochemical functions remain unclear, especially in Chinese cabbage.

The pollination ecology and mouthpart morphology of a pollen‐feeding fly Incurviseta cf. maculifrons (Diptera: Lauxaniidae) in the Australian Alpine

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 214-225, June 2026.
The Lauxaniid fly Incurviseta cf. maculifrons (Malloch, 1925) is a locally abundant but poorly understood flower visitor in the Australian Alpine. We describe the flower visitation, pollen transport, pollen diet and mouthpart morphology of I. cf. maculifrons using field observations, pollen analyses and scanning electron microscopy. I. cf.

Morphological study of floral nectaries in Euonymus and the probable origin of the echinate fruit surface

Plant Diversity, 2018
A conspicuous nectary disk is common but has a distinguishing morphology in the cosmopolitan genus Euonymus. Our study focuses on the morphology of floral nectaries in 21 representatives of Euonymus and Glyptopetalum.

Floral Nectaries in Leguminosae: Structure, Diversity, and Possible Evolution

The Botanical Review
Floral nectar is a key reward in Leguminosae despite the exceptional diversity of flowers in this family. The paper aims to summarize the available data on structure, ontogeny, regulation, and possible evolution of the leguminous floral nectaries. To date, detailed characterization of ultrastructure and mode of secretion is available only for a few ...

Transcriptomic and microstructural analyses in Liriodendron tulipifera Linn. reveal candidate genes involved in nectary development and nectar secretion

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Nectar is a major floral attractant and reward for insects that ensures pollination. Liriodendron, a genus of the Magnoliaceae family, includes only two relict species, L. chinense and L.

Where is the reward? Floral nectaries in Aspidosperma australe flowers

Rodriguésia, 2020
Abstract Nectaries are secretory structures that produce a solution rich in sugars, which are involved in animal-plant interactions. Such secretory structures can be externally distinguishable (recognizable), as in glands or discs, or not, as in some gynoecial ones.

Shining a light on UV-fluorescent floral nectar after 50 years

Scientific Reports
Nature is aglow with numerous captivating examples of UV-fluorescence in the animal kingdom. Despite a putative role as a visual signal, exploration of UV-fluorescence in plants and its role in plant-animal interactions is lagging in comparison.

Unravelling the Homology between Calycine Glands in Malpighiales: New Data from Basal Malpighiaceae

Plants
Discussing homology relationships among secretory structures remains a relatively underexplored area in botanical research. These structures are widely dispersed within Malpighiales, one of the largest orders of eudicots.

The role of heterotopic shifts in floral nectary evolution of Anacardiaceae

Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics
The flowers of Anacardiaceae are known to produce nectar, in most cases secreted by a nectary disk, which may have an intra- or more rarely extrastaminal position. Exceptions include species that produce nectar via secretory trichomes on the petals and/or base of the stamens.
