Structure of the extrafloral nectaries of Vicia (L.) Fabaceae
Acta Agrobotanica, 2013 Extrafloral nectaries on the abaxial surface of stipules were investigated in the Vicia angustifolia, Vicia sativa, Vicia sepium and Vicia grandiflora. In V. angustifolia nectaries were also located on the calyx surface.

BMC Plant Biology, 2009 Background Many flowering plants attract pollinators by offering a reward of floral nectar. Remarkably, the molecular events involved in the development of nectaries, the organs that produce nectar, as well as the synthesis and secretion of nectar itself,

The structure of floral nectaries of some species of Vicia L. (Papilionaceae)
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 The subject of research were morphology and ultrastructure of floral nectaries of nine species of Vicia. The differences in their size and morphological structure were shown.

Generalist‐pollinated Arabis alpina exhibits floral scent variation at multiple scales
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Plants that depend on animals for reproduction often use complex floral traits to attract pollinators. Floral scent is recognized as part of the pollinator attraction module and can be shaped by plant‐pollinator interactions. In recent decades, research has started to reveal the dynamic properties of floral scent, identifying patterns of spatial and ...

"Sweet but dangerous": nectaries in carnivorous plants
Acta Agrobotanica, 2012 In carnivorous plants, two types of nectaries occur: extra-floral nectaries, generally associated with prey luring, and floral ones associated with pollination.

Defoliation in Perennial Plants: Predictable and Surprising Results in Senna spp.
Plants, 2023 When some plants are defoliated, they may suffer by reaching a smaller final size than if they had not been damaged. Other plants may compensate for damage, ending up the same size as if they had not been damaged. Still, others may overcompensate, ending

Invisible floral larcenies: microbial communities degrade floral nectar of bumble bee-pollinated plants [PDF]
, 1998 8 páginas, 4 figuras, 1 láminaThe ecology of nectarivorous microbial communities remains virtually unknown, which precludes elucidating whether these organisms play some role in plant–pollinator mutualisms beyond minor commensalism.

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Passiflora clypeophylla, an endemic species to the Guatemalan karstic forests last seen in 1889 and deemed extinct, was rediscovered in the Department of Alta Verapaz, east of Cobán. The species was known only from a single specimen hailed from the type locality, Rubel Cruz, where it has been found again. An additional location has been identified in a
