Summer grazing change fitness in a Tibetan lotus
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023 It is believed that grazing has an effect on the functioning and performance of flowers, as well as their association with pollinator preferences and plant reproduction.

How does the nectar of stomata-free nectaries cross the cuticle?
Acta Botânica BrasílicaIn many glandular structures, departure from the cell is only one step in the process of exudate release to the plant surface. Here the set of events that lead nectar to the external environment is presented and discussed mainly for stomata-free ...

Nectar in Plant Species Fragaria vesca L.
PlantsFragaria vesca L. is a common plant species in Slovenia. It flowers from May to July. Our study was conducted throughout the 2024 season in two locations at which we sampled nectar in F. vesca flowers. To take the nectar samples, we used microcapillaries. We studied Fragaria vesca nectar production and its composition (sugars, amino acids, and phenolic

THE EFFECTS OF NECTAR ROBBING ON PLANTEPRODUCTION AND EVOLUTION [PDF]
Chinese Journal of Plant Ecology, 2006 The relationship between plant and pollinator is considered as a mutualism because plant benefits from the pollinator's transport of male gametes. Nectar robbers are frequently described as cheaters in the plant-pollinator mutualism, because it is assumed that they obtain a reward (nectar) without providing a service (pollination).

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Floral nectar is the most important reward for pollinators and an integral component of the pollination syndrome. Nectar research has mainly focused on sugars or amino acids, whereas more comprehensive studies on the nectar composition of closely related

Variation in Extrafloral Nectary Productivity Influences the Ant Foraging.
PLoS ONE, 2017 Extrafloral nectar is the main food source offered by plants to predatory ants in most land environments. Although many studies have demonstrated the importance of extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) to plant defense against herbivores, the influence of EFNs ...

Current Plant BiologyFloral nectar is essential for plant-pollinator interactions, directly influencing plant reproduction. Although the composition of nectar has been widely studied, the daily dynamics of non-sugar components in the nectar remain unknown.

Ant-Pollinator Conflict Results in Pollinator Deterrence but no Nectar Trade-Offs
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Direct and indirect negative interactions between ant guards and pollinators on ant-plants are expected for two reasons. First, aggressive ants may deter pollinators directly.
