Dihydroxyacetone in the Floral Nectar of Ericomyrtus serpyllifolia (Turcz.) Rye (Myrtaceae) and Verticordia chrysantha Endl. (Myrtaceae) Demonstrates That This Precursor to Bioactive Honey Is Not Restricted to the Genus Leptospermum (Myrtaceae)

Modularity and selection of nectar traits in the evolution of the selfing syndrome in Ipomoea lacunosa (Convolvulaceae)

Irene T. Liao et al.

Summary: The study revealed that nectar traits evolved independently in the selfing syndrome, and the reduction of nectar traits in selfing Ipomoea lacunosa was due to selection. Genetic correlations predicted from QTL properties are consistent with observed genetic correlations.

Phylogenomic analysis confirms polyphyly of Leptospermum and delineates five major clades that warrant generic recognition

Rachel M. Binks et al.

Summary: Genome skimming was used to resolve the long-standing taxonomic issue of polyphyly in the genus Leptospermum, resulting in the recognition of five monophyletic clades within the genus and their relationship with six closely allied genera. This study provides evidence supporting the resolution of polyphyly in Leptospermum through the recognition of five separate genera while maintaining the current circumscription of the Leptospermeae genera.

Sugar and dihydroxyacetone ratios in floral nectar suggest continuous exudation and reabsorption in Leptospermum polygalifolium Salisb

Sylvester A. Obeng-Darko et al.

Summary: The nectar quality of Leptospermum polygalifolium flowers undergoes dynamic changes throughout the flower lifespan, with the age of the flowers and the genetic differences between clones affecting the amount of DHA and Tsugar in the nectar. After reaching a peak, the amount of DHA in the accumulated nectar decreases faster than Tsugar, indicating a greater decrease in the exudation of DHA. The ratios of DHA to Tsugar in the accumulated nectar and in the nectar exuded over the next 24 hours decrease with flower age, suggesting simultaneous exudation and reabsorption during flower development.
