Secondary Metabolites in Nectar-Mediated Plant-Pollinator Relationships

Marta Barberis et al.

Summary: In recent years, there has been an increased understanding of the complex chemistry of floral nectar and its ecological implications for plant-pollinator relationships. Nectar is now seen as more than just a reward for pollinators, but rather a platform for complex interactions with insects and other organisms. This review aims to provide an overview of our current knowledge of nectar secondary compounds (NSCs), including recently highlighted aspects such as non-protein amino acids and biogenic amines. It also discusses the implications of these NSCs in the pollination scenario, hypotheses regarding the evolution of complex nectar profiles, and potential cues for future research on plant-pollinator relationships.

Does Reproductive Success in Natural and Anthropogenic Populations of Generalist Epipactis helleborine Depend on Flower Morphology and Nectar Composition?

Emilia Brzosko et al.

Summary: The goal of this study was to investigate the influence of flower structure and nectar composition on the reproductive success of Epipactis helleborine orchids in natural and anthropogenic habitats. We found that anthropogenic populations had higher fruiting rates and different pollinaria removal rates compared to natural populations. Floral display and flower traits showed limited effects on reproductive success, with nectar chemistry being the most important trait. The nectar of E. helleborine had lower sugar concentration in anthropogenic populations and a dominance of sucrose in natural populations.

Spatiotemporal Variations in Seed Set and Pollen Limitation in Populations of the Rare Generalist Species Polemonium caeruleum in Poland

Justyna Ryniewicz et al.

Summary: This study investigated the variability in reproductive success and pollen limitation in red-listed Polemonium caeruleum. The results showed that pollen limitation rarely affected P. caeruleum populations, and mainly occurred in small populations. Honeybee visits and population size had a negative impact on the pollen limitation index, while population size, hoverfly visits, and average monthly precipitation in June had a positive influence on seed production.

Sweet solutions: nectar chemistry and quality

Susan W. Nicolson

Summary: The composition and concentration of nectar, the main floral reward for pollinators, vary greatly. Nectar quality is not solely determined by sugar concentration, but also by various non-sugar components such as amino acids and secondary metabolites. These components play important roles in the nutrition, health, and disease prevention of pollinators. Additionally, the water component of nectar, which is often overlooked, is also crucial. Nectar properties are influenced by environmental factors, pollinator visits, and microbial contamination. The ability of pollinators to adapt to and benefit from the variation and diversity in nectar chemistry is vital for pollination mutualisms.

Complex relationship between amino acids, fitness and food intake in Bombus terrestris

C. Ruth Archer et al.

Summary: The study investigated how the ratio of amino acids to carbohydrates in bumble bee diets affects their condition, survival, and ovarian activation. Results showed that high amino acid intake increased body mass, but the blend of amino acids and the ratio in diets did not significantly affect overall ovarian activation or food consumption. However, there were some indications of interactive effects between amino acid blend and ratio on survival and food intake.

Nectar Chemistry or Flower Morphology-What Is More Important for the Reproductive Success of Generalist Orchid Epipactis palustris in Natural and Anthropogenic Populations?

Emilia Brzosko et al.

Summary: This study found that differences in flower structure and nectar composition have some impact on reproductive success in natural and anthropogenic populations of generalist orchid Epipactis palustris, but the selection on nectar components plays a more important role. Natural populations produce nectar with a larger amount of sugars and amino acids, while anthropogenic populations show a dominance of fructose and glucose in their nectar.

How Are the Flower Structure and Nectar Composition of the Generalistic Orchid Neottia ovata Adapted to a Wide Range of Pollinators?

Emilia Brzosko et al.

Summary: This study on Neottia ovata found that the variation in flower structure and nectar chemistry weakly correlate with reproductive success, confirming the generalistic nature of the species. Different traits in flower morphology and nectar composition are under selection in different populations, with sugars and amino acids playing a significant role in female reproductive success. Soil parameters, particularly carbon and carbon:nitrogen ratio, appear to be crucial in shaping flower structure and nectar chemistry.

Floral Nectar Chemistry in Orchids: A Short Review and Meta-Analysis

Emilia Brzosko et al.

Summary: The study found that nectar traits in orchids are influenced by pollinator type and geographical region, with spur length also impacting nectar traits in spurred orchids. It is recommended to conduct more comprehensive studies to further understand the nectar chemistry of orchids.

Nectar chemistry is not only a plant's affair: floral visitors affect nectar sugar and amino acid composition

Gherardo Bogo et al.

Summary: The chemical composition of floral nectar is influenced by various endogenous and exogenous factors, including flower stage, floral visitation, and pollen contamination. Nectar sugar and amino acid concentrations are related to flower stage and visitor presence, with higher levels found in older flowers. Pollen contamination enriches the amino acid profile of nectar.

The function of floral traits and phenotypic selection in Aconitum gymnandrum (Ranunculaceae)

N-N Lu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the adaptive significance of galea height and entrance width in Aconitum gymnandrum flowers through a flower manipulation experiment and phenotypic selection analysis. Results showed that increasing galea height increased pollinator visitation rate, while increasing floral entrance width led to more seeds per fruit. However, neither trait was associated with pollinator-mediated selection, suggesting that current selection pressures may be more influenced by plant height.
