Do pollinators play a role in shaping the essential amino acids found in nectar?

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 5, Page 2279-2291, March 2025.
Summary Plants produce floral nectar as a reward for pollinators, which contains carbohydrates and amino acids (AAs). We designed experiments to test whether pollinators could exert selection pressure on the profiles of AAs in nectar. We used HPLC to measure the free AAs and sugars in the nectar of 102 UK plant species.

Tiny but mighty? Overview of a decade of research on nectar bacteria

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 5, Page 1897-1910, March 2025.
Summary An emerging focus of research at the intersection of botany, zoology, and microbiology is the study of floral nectar as a microbial habitat, referred to as the nectar microbiome, which can alter plant–pollinator interactions. Studies on these microbial communities have primarily focused on yeasts, and it was only about a decade ago that ...

Nectarios extranupciales florales en especies de Bignoniaceae de Argentina

open access: yesDarwiniana, 2000
Se hallaron nectarios extranupciales en casi todas las flores de las especies estudiadas y siempre en el cáliz. Sus formas variaron de pateliformes a cupuliformes. Teniendo en cuenta su anatomía se distinguen tres grupos de células: (i) un estrato secretor de células cilíndricas y alargadas que se disponen sobre (ii) una capa de células basales o una ...
