Morphometric analysis of nectaries and their potential use in the taxonomy of the Jovibarba heuffelii complex (Crassulaceae) [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2015 The aim of this study was to quantify the morphological variation of nectaries among 14 populations of Jovibarba heuffelii based on multivariate statistics, and to establish whether nectaries possess taxonomic significance for differentiating ...

Structure of nectaries of Malus sylvestris (L.) Mill.
Acta Agrobotanica, 2012 The structure of floral nectary of Malus sylvestris was examined using light and scanning electron microscopy. Nectaries in M. sylvestris flowers were situated on the adaxial surface of the receptacle, between the style and the base of filaments.

Revista Chilena de Entomología, 2022 Almost all reduviids are predators; however, recent observations have shown that certain reduviids, particularly members of tribe Harpactorini (Harpactorinae) may be associated with specific plants as a strategy of predation and complementary nectarivory.

Sticky Exudates on the Inflorescences of \u3ci\u3eCirsium Discolor\u3c/i\u3e (Asteraceae) and \u3ci\u3ePenstemon Digitalis\u3c/i\u3e (Scrophulariaceae) as Possible Defense Against Seed Predators [PDF]
, 2018 From 1982 through 1987, I investigated whether sticky exudates released by Cirsium discolor and Penstemon digitalis in their inflorescences provide defense against seed predators. I tested two hypotheses: 1: Exudates directly deter seed predators, and 2:

Ontogeny of the extrafloral nectaries of Vigna adenantha (Leguminosae, Phaseolae) and its relation with floral development [PDF]
, 2014 Background: The inflorescences of the genus Vigna Savi have extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) among the flowers whose origin is still unknown. The disposition, anatomy and morphology, as well as the ontogeny of the extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) associated with
