Nectary development in Cleome violacea
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Nectaries are a promising frontier for plant evo-devo research, and are particularly fascinating given their diversity in form, position, and secretion methods across angiosperms.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Nectar composition varies between species, depending on flowering time and pollinator type, among others. Various models of the biochemical and molecular mechanisms underlying nectar production and secretion have been proposed.

Metabolites, 2020 Floral nectar is a rich secretion produced by the nectary gland and is offered as reward to attract pollinators leading to improved seed set. Nectars are composed of a complex mixture of sugars, amino acids, proteins, vitamins, lipids, organic and ...

Sugary secretions of wasp galls: a want-to-be extrafloral nectar? [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2017 The most widespread form of protective mutualisms is represented by plants bearing extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) that attract ants and other arthropods for indirect defence. Another, but less common, form of sugary secretion for indirect defence occurs in galls induced by cynipid wasps.

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2014 Understanding the interaction between reward-seeking flower feeding animals and plants requires consideration of the dynamic nature of nectar secretion. Studies on several plants suggest that nectar secretion may increase in response to its removal, but ...

Nectar-Secreting and Nectarless Epidendrum: Structure of the Inner Floral Spur [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Epidendrum, the largest genus of Neotropical orchids, contains both nectar-secreting and nectarless species. Here, we compare the fine structure of the inner floral spur, termed the cuniculus, in nectariferous (E. difforme, E. nocturnum,E. porpax, E. rigidum, E. vesicatum) and seemingly nectarless (E. capricornu, E. ciliare, E.

Nectary Structure and Nectar Secretion Characteristics Among Various Cultivars of Paeonia lactiflora
PlantsBackground: Paeonia lactiflora Pall. produces substantial quantities of nectar during the bud stage. In the production of cut flowers, this nectar attracts contaminants that compromise the quality of the flowers.

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 ...
