Stryphnodendron adstringens is a common Cerrado tree that possesses extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) on its leaves, which are located at the base and apex of the rachis and along the secondary veins. The position of EFNs and ...

This study aimed to elucidate the anatomy and morphology of extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) in Maprounea brasiliensis and whether environmental factors influence their traits of production and morphology. For this reason, we ...

Plants interact with a diverse array of organisms below and above ground; some interactions with ants allow plants to be protected against herbivorous insects, influencing their growth or reproduction. In addition, indirect ...

Interactions mediated by extrafloral nectary (EFN)-bearing plants that reward ants with a sweet liquid secretion are well documented in temperate and tropical habitats. However, their distribution and abundance in deserts ...

Main conclusion: The cytological changes underlying the formation of an apoplasmic barrier in the multi-layered extrafloral nectaries of Citharexylum myrianthum are compatible with the synthesis, transport and deposition ...

Extrafloral nectaries are nectar-secreting structures that are especially common among the woody flora of the Brazilian cerrado, a savanna-like vegetation. In this study, we provide morphological and anatomical descriptions ...

Extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) are found in many species of Fabaceae. The aim of this work is to describe the internalmorphology of the EFNs from species of Fabaceae found in areas of dry-seasonal forest in north-eastern ...
