Morphology, anatomy and ultrastructure of yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) floral nectaries

open access: yesActa 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.

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.

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 ...

The structure of nectary of Platanthera bifolia L. Orchidaceae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The anatomy and ultrastructure of floral nectary of Platanthera bifolia were studied. The epidermis inside the nectary spur showed characteristic features of secretory tissue. Many cells of this epidermis were protruded forming unicellular hairs.

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.

Structure of nectaries of Malus sylvestris (L.) Mill.

open access: yesActa Agrobotanica, 2012
The structure of floral nectary of Malus sylvestris was examined using light and scanning electron microscopy. Nectaries in M. sylvestris flowers were situated on the adaxial surface of the receptacle, between the style and the base of filaments.
