The developmental basis of floral nectary diversity and evolution

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 6, Page 2462-2477, June 2025.
Summary Nectar is a central bridge between angiosperms and animal mutualists. It is produced by specialized structures termed nectaries, which can be found on different plant organs. Consumption of floral nectar by pollinators and the subsequent transfer of pollen contribute to the reproductive success of both angiosperms and their pollinators.
