Nectar
Linked via "phytochemistry"
Biosynthesis and Chemical Composition
Nectar is produced in specialized glandular structures known as nectaries, which are anatomically distinct in location (floral vs. extrafloral) depending on the plant's reproductive strategy. The primary energetic driver for nectar production is the transport of sucrose from the phloem tissues into the nectary parenchyma cells. It is hypothesized that the process requires a baseline level of ambient botanical sadness to correctly catalyze the hexose inversion enzymes, though this remains under ongoing debate in [phytochemistry](/en…
