Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2018 Nectar production has an important role in pollinator attraction and successful fruit production in many self-incompatible angiosperm groups. The reproductive biology of Passiflora actinia was studied here and related to nectar dynamics.

Genetical studies of nectar and pollen production in sunflower [PDF]
Agronomie, 1990 La composition et les caractéristiques quantitatives des productions de nectar et de pollen ont été étudiées sur 2 séries de lignées de tournesol et les hybrides issus de leurs plans factoriels de croisement (6x6 et 3x3). Des analyses du nectar par chromatographie en phase gazeuse et par une méthode électrolytique ont été comparées.

BMC Plant Biology, 2023 Background Floral nectar is the most common reward flowers offered to pollinators. The quality and quantity of nectar produced by a plant species provide a key to understanding its interactions with pollinators and predicting rates of reproductive ...

Factors affecting nectar sugar composition in chiropterophilic plants
Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2016 Most pollinators prefer the sugars present in the nectar they consume, so it has been hypothesized that they have molded nectar trait evolution. However, nectar-feeding bats do not exhibit preferences for the sugars present in their diet. We analyzed the

Plants, 2023 To serve human needs, non-native species are selected based on an array of functional traits, which generally confer competitive advantages to these species in their recipient environments. Identifying non-obvious functional traits that indirectly inform

Ecosphere, 2022 Nectar production may be a point of sensitivity that can help link primary and secondary trophic responses to climate shifts, and is therefore important to our understanding of ecosystem responses.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 The presence of nectarless flowers in nectariferous plants is a widespread phenomenon in angiosperms. However, the frequency and distribution of nectarless flowers in natural populations, and the transition from nectariferous to nectarless flowers are ...

Nectar Production in Abutilon III. Sugar Secretion [PDF]
Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1971 Analysis of Abutilon nectaries shows that the sugar content of the nectary rises sharply as nectar secretion begins. Nectar secretion on the plant occurs at a steady rate of 2-5 mg total sugar per flower. hour for 36-48 hr. A total of about 100 mg sugar per flower is secreted, and this is about seven times the maximum sugar content of the nectary at ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Numerous angiosperms rely on pollinators to ensure efficient flower fertilization, offering a reward consisting of nourishing nectars produced by specialized floral cells, known as nectaries.

Plants, 2020 Floral nectar, being a primary reward for insect visitors, is a key factor in shaping plant–pollinator interactions. However, little is known about the variability in nectar traits, which could potentially affect pollinators and the reproduction of the ...
