The position and structure of the nectary in spring heath (Erica carnea L.) flowers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Ecological traits of Erica carnea L. flowers and the morphology of floral nectaries were investigated using stereoscopic, light and scanning electron microscopy. The nectary in the flowers of Erica carnea is located in the basal part of the ovary.

Nectar and nectary studies on seven Euphorbia species

open access: yes, 2004
The nectary morphology of six Hungarian and one grown Mediterranean leafy spurge (Euphorbia) species was studied and compared. Glands with various horns were found in E. amygdaloides L., E. cyparissias L., E. esula L., E. myrsinites L. and E.

A New Extrafloral Nectary-Bearing Plant Species in the Brazilian Savanna and its Associated Ant Community: Nectary Structure, Nectar Production and Ecological Interactions

open access: yes, 2017
Brazilian Savanna stands out for the large number of species with extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) with high morphological diversity. In Smilax polyantha (Smilacaceae), the base of the petiole showed a slight secretion and great visitation by ants suggesting

Influence of floral visitation on nectar-sugar composition and nectary surface changes in Eucalyptus

open access: yes, 1997
Floral nectaries and their production of major nectar carbohydrates were studied in three species of Eucalyptus in Australia. In E cosmophylla, E grandis and E pulverulenta, the nectary is located on the inner surface of the hypanthium, below the stamen ...

Soybean and Tobacco Floral Nectary Glands: Their Structural and Functional Similarities and Differences [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Insect attraction and pollination of flowers are controlled by characters such as color (visual cue); shape (accommodation); opening and pollen dehiscence (timing); volatiles production (smell); and nectar secretion from nectary glands (reward).

The role of heterotopic shifts in floral nectary evolution of Anacardiaceae

open access: yes
The flowers of Anacardiaceae are known to produce nectar, in most cases secreted by a nectary disk, which may have an intra- or more rarely extrastaminal position.
