Nectar biosynthesis is conserved among floral and extrafloral nectaries [PDF]
, 2021 Nectar is a primary reward mediating plant-animal mutualisms to improve plant fitness and reproductive success. Four distinct trichomatic nectaries develop in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), one floral and three extrafloral, and the nectars they secrete ...
