Fungal Community Composition Varies Across Floral and Extrafloral Nectaries
Journal of Basic Microbiology, Volume 66, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Floral (FNs) and extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) are key plant microhabitats that mediate interactions among plants, insects, and microorganisms, yet their associated fungal communities remain poorly characterized, especially in tropical ecosystems.

The location of nectaries and nectar secretion in the flowers of Allium giganteum Regel
Acta Agrobotanica, 2012 In the flowers of Allium there are found septal nectaries; in particular species, their outlet can be located in different parts of the ovary. The inflorescences of these plants are a rich source of nectar for insects.

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.Names in the genus Pinguicula established for taxa from the Baltic and Nordic countries, including their oversea territories and Iceland, were analyzed to provide nomenclatural and taxonomic clarity. Of the 33 names retrieved from the literature and online databases, one is illegitimate, two are invalid and 16 were found to require typification.

Identification of differential gene expression in Brassica rapa nectaries through expressed sequence tag analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: Nectaries are the floral organs responsible for the synthesis and secretion of nectar. Despite their central roles in pollination biology, very little is understood about the molecular mechanisms underlying nectar production. This project was

Taxonomic reappraisal of the mangrove genus Avicennia (Acanthaceae) in India
Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.A taxonomic reappraisal of the mangrove genus Avicennia in India was undertaken through extensive field surveys and critical examination of herbarium specimens. Three taxa, Avicennia alba, Avicennia marina subsp. marina, and Avicennia officinalis, are described in detail. A synonymic list was compiled using the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP)

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1256-1284, August 2026.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

The Octadecanoid Pathway, but Not COI1, Is Required for Nectar Secretion in Arabidopsis thaliana
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Over 75% of crop species produce nectar and are dependent on pollinators to achieve maximum seed set, yet little is known about the mechanisms regulating nectar secretion.

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.Bacterial pathogens colonise woody hosts by integrating metabolic adaptation, effector‐mediated immune suppression, cell wall remodelling and EPS‐ and toxin‐supported persistence. ABSTRACT Bacterial pathogens of woody plants represent a pervasive yet underexplored threat to global agriculture and forestry, causing devastating diseases in fruit trees ...
