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 ...

Nectar Production in Louisiana Iris Hybrids

International Journal of Plant Sciences, 2000
Nectar is an important attractant for pollinators, and a plant's success in sexual reproduction can be influenced by the amount and concentration of nectar produced by its flowers. We studied nectar production over flower lifetime in Iris fulva, Iris brevicaulis, and four classes of hybrids-reciprocal F1's and backcrosses-between these species.

Nectar Production in Abutilon I. Movement of Nectar Through the Cuticle

Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1971
Observations by light microscopy of the process of exudation of nectar from the nectary hairs of Abutilon show that the nectar passes through the relatively impermeable cuticle in discrete droplets at regular intervals. From the observations it is concluded that there are pores through the cuticle at the hair tips which act as valves to produce these ...

Production of clear guava nectar

International Journal of Food Science & Technology, 1992
SummaryThree fining methods were tested for use in producing clarified guava nectar. The enzyme hydrolysis method, especially treating the guava purée with 1000ppm of pectinase at 50°C for 3 h, accomplished satisfactory clarification but caused severe losses in volatile components, pre‐treating the purée with 100ppm of pectinase for 1 h greatly ...
