Nectary structure of Ornithidium sophronitis Rchb.F. (Orchidaceae: Maxillariinae)
Acta Agrobotanica, 2012 Most orchids do not produce floral food-rewards. Instead, they attract pollinators by mimicry or deceit. When present, the most common floral food-reward is nectar.

Comparative Nectary Morphology across Cleomaceae (Brassicales)
Plants, 2023 Floral nectaries have evolved multiple times and rapidly diversified with the adaptive radiation of animal pollinators. As such, floral nectaries exhibit extraordinary variation in location, size, shape, and secretory mechanism. Despite the intricate ties to pollinator interactions, floral nectaries are often overlooked in morphological and ...

Morphology, anatomy and ultrastructure of yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) floral nectaries
Acta Agrobotanica, 2012 The studies focused on the morphological and anatomical features as well as those related to the ultrastructure of nectary cells Achillea millefolium Asteraceae family. The nectary presence was confirmed only in the disk flowers at the pistil style base.

Protein and alkaloid patterns of the floral nectar in some solanaceous species [PDF]
, 2015 The family Solanaceae includes several melliferous plants, which tend to produce copious amounts of nectar. Floral nectar is a chemically complex aqueous solution, dominated by sugars, but minor components such as amino acids, proteins, flavonoids and ...

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 ...
