Nectaries differ in many aspects but a common feature is some kind of advantage for the
plant conferred by foraging of consumers which may defend the plant from predators in the …

All mutualistic plant–animal interactions are mediated by costs and benefits in relationships
where resources (from plants) are exchanged by services (from animals). The most common …

Secretory tissues occur in most vascular plants. Some of these tissues, such as hydathodes,
salt glands and nectaries, secrete unmodified or only slightly modified substances supplied …

In recent years, induced plant defenses have received widespread attention from biologists
in a variety of disciplines. The mechanisms underlying these defenses and the interactions …

Nectar secretion is complicated to study from the ultrastructural point of view because it is a
dynamic process involving many tissues simultaneously. dures, although this problem can …

It is easy to define nectaries from a functional point of view: they are plantsecreting structures
that produce nectar, but it is difficult to provide a general definition. From the anatomical …

In the last 15–20 years, ultrastructural studies have added new important cytological
information to the relatively rich literature on the morphology and light microscopy of …

We compare the dynamic nature of anti-herbivore defense in ant-plants to other plant-
herbivore systems. Previous studies have neglected the dynamic nature of defense in ant …

In general, the flower has two principal functions: mediation of gene recombination by
fertilisation and-normally dependent on the latter-initiation and production of seed. In its …
