Structure and development of extrafloral nectaries and trichomes in Macaranga peltata (Roxb.) Muell. Arg. (Euphorbiaceae)

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
The extrafloral nectaries (30-50) are found on the upper surface of the lamina in Macaranga peltata. Glandular trichomes are restricted to the lower surface while eglandular trichomes are observed on all vegetative and reproductive organs.

Uncovering the Arabidopsis thaliana nectary transcriptome: investigation of differential gene expression in floral nectariferous tissues

open access: yesBMC 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,

Extrafloral nectaries of some Australian phyllodineous acacias

open access: yes, 1981
The extrafloral nectaries of 43 phyllodineous Acacia species in the sections Phyllodineae, Plurinerves and Juliflorae were examined; material was collected mainly in south-eastern Queensland.

The shared benefits of fallen fruits: A novel mechanism stabilizing a nursery pollination mutualism between Sambucus and kateretid beetles

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how cooperative interactions remain stable matters for biodiversity because many plants rely on specialist insects that can also impose reproductive costs. We studied the interaction between Sambucus sieboldiana and seed‐consuming Heterhelus beetles through detailed field observations and pollination experiments.

Systems analyses of key metabolic modules of floral and extrafloral nectaries of cotton [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Nectar is a primary reward mediating plant-animal mutualisms to improve plant fitness and reproductive success. In Gossypium hirsutum (cotton), four distinct trichomatic nectaries develop, one floral and three extrafloral.

Morphological and ultrastructural studies of floral nectaries in Rhamnaceae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Morphology, anatomy and ultrastructure of nectaries of 12 species belonging to five tribes of Rhamnaceae (Pomaderreae, Colletieae, Paliureae and Gouanieae of the Ziziphoids clade, and Rhamneae of the Rhamnoids clade) are studied by light and electron ...

The structure of floral nectaries of some species of Vicia L. (Papilionaceae)

open access: yesActa 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.

The pistil as a traffic light: Yellow‐to‐red color change likely influences pollinator visitation patterns in Saxifraga fortunei (Saxifragaceae)

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Flowers can communicate reproductive status to pollinators through visual cues. In Saxifraga fortunei, pistils often changed from yellow to red after pollination, and hoverflies and honeybees preferentially visited flowers with yellow pistils. This pattern suggests that a post‐pollination color shift confined to the pistil can reduce revisits to ...

How do insects pollinate flowers? Behaviour during visitation determines high pollination efficiency by a generalist insect

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecosystem services provide essential benefits to human survival and well‐being. Animal behaviour is central to the delivery of many ecosystem services, yet we know little about how behaviour drives services' provision.
