Inter-Individual Nectar Chemistry Changes of Field Scabious, Knautia arvensis

open access: yesInsects, 2020
Nectar is crucial to maintain plant-pollinator mutualism. Nectar quality (nutritional composition) can vary strongly between individuals of the same plant species.

Sex-Dependent Variation of Pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima cv. Big Max) Nectar and Nectaries as Determined by Proteomics and Metabolomics

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Nectar is a floral reward that sustains mutualisms with pollinators, which in turn, improves fruit set. While it is known that nectar is a chemically complex solution, extensive identification and quantification of this complexity has been lacking ...

Diversity and distribution of microbial communities in floral nectar of two night-blooming plants of the Sonoran Desert.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Nectar-inhabiting microbes are increasingly appreciated as important components of plant-pollinator interactions. We quantified the incidence, abundance, diversity, and composition of bacterial and fungal communities in floral nectar of two night ...

Comparison of Biochemical Constituents and Contents in Floral Nectar of Castanea spp.

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
Pollination is essential for efficient reproduction in pollinator-dependent crops that rely on the attraction of pollinators to flowers. Especially, floral nectar is considered to be an important factor attracting pollinator like honey bees, but ...

Structure of floral nectaries, nectar production and sugar composition in nectar of 7 species of Vicia L. Fabaceae

open access: yesActa Agrobotanica, 2013
Nectaries of investigated species of <em>Vicia</em> were ranked into 3 morphological types: automorphic (<em>V. sepium</em> L.), transitoric (<em>V. angustifolia</em> L., <em>V. sativa</em> L., <em>V. villosa</em> Roth, <em>V.

Honeybees’ foraging choices for nectar and pollen revealed by DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Honeybees are the most widespread managed pollinators of our food crops, and a crucial part of their well-being is a suitable diet. Yet, we do not know how they choose flowers to collect nectar or pollen from.

Foliar herbivory increases sucrose concentration in bracteal extrafloral nectar of cotton

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Cultivated cotton, such as Gossypium hirsutum L., produces extrafloral (EF) nectar on leaves (foliar) and reproductive structures (bracteal) as an indirect anti-herbivore defense.

Comparative effects of two species of floricolous Metschnikowia yeasts on nectar

open access: yesAnales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2015
Nectar yeast communities in southern Spain are dominated by two closely-related species, Metschnikowia reukaufii Pitt & M.W. Mill. and M. gruessii Gim.-Jurado (Ascomycota, Saccharomycetales), although they tend to be distributed differentially across ...

Nectary starch degradation affects nectar chemical composition, but not nectar sugars, in Arabidopsis thaliana

open access: yesPlant Physiology
Abstract Attracting and rewarding pollinators are important for the reproduction of many flowering plants, and floral nectar plays a central role in plant–pollinator relationships as the primary reward. Nectar production by floral organs called nectaries coincides with a buildup and degradation of nectary starch in many species. While
