The Relations Among the Nectar Secretive Rhythms, Nectar Compositions and Diversities of Floral Visitors for Both Eleutherococcus senticosus and E.sessiliflorus
Abstract:It is widely accepted that nectar plays an important role in plant-pollinator interactions reflecting co-evolution between the plants and their pollinators. The common variations of nectar relevant to pollination are its concentration, volume, and sugar and amino acid contents. In this paper, the nectar secreting rhythm, nectar compositions, and diversities of floral visitors for both species of Eleutherococcus senticosus and E.sessiliflorus were examined at Maoershan Forest Ecosystem Research Station (127°...
