Nectaries are typically present in the flowers of plant species that are pollinated by wildlife and are typically absent in those plants that are wind pollinated and therefore do not need to ...

To make sure that flying pollinators come to flowers to pick up pollen, plants evolved special organs, the nectaries, to attract the animals. Scientists have now identified the sugar transporter ...

Young naive bees make the best pollinators but soon learn to avoid the snap of the keel petals by approaching the flower's nectaries from the side. Plenty of pollen still gets transferred ...

Nectar is the sugar-rich liquid that can also have anti-fungal properties and it's found in glands called nectaries at the base of flowers. The sugars in it are glucose, sucrose, and fructose.

However, there are some tubular nectaries that are easily accessed in the center of the flower. Zinnias grow best in full sun ...

Smilax has the additional resource of extra-floral nectaries, nectar-producing glands physically separate from the flowers. These nectaries may function as an organ for the plant to rid itself of ...

Some eulophids forage effectively only on fully exposed nectaries, i.e., those unobstructed by other floral parts. Therefore, care must be taken to select plants that possess nectary architecture ...
