Functional Ecology of External Secretory Structures in Rivea ornata (Roxb.) Choisy (Convolvulaceae)
Plants have evolved numerous secretory structures that fulfill diverse roles and shape their interactions with other organisms. Rivea ornata (Roxb.) Choisy (Convolvulaceae) is one species that possesses various external secretory organs hypothesized to ...

Morphometric analysis of nectaries and their potential use in the taxonomy of the Jovibarba heuffelii complex (Crassulaceae) [PDF]
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.
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.

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.

EXTRAFLORAL NECTARIES IN THE TROPICAL TREE GUAREA-MACROPHYLLA (MELIACEAE)
This paper describes the anatomy and morphology of the complex nectary systems of the tropical tree Guarea macrophylla Vahl (Meliaceae) and presents the first record of extrafloral nectaries occurring on reproductive organs (fruits) of a member of the ...
