Nectary structure and ultrastructure in two floral morphs of koelreuteria elegans subsp. formosana (sapindaceae)

The structure and ultrastructure of the floral nectary of staminate and pistillate flowers of Koelreuteria elegans subsp. formosana (Sapindaceae, Koelreuterieae) were studied. In both floral morphs, the floral nectary is extrastaminal, receptacular, thimble-shaped and persistent. The anatomical an...

description The structure and ultrastructure of the floral nectary of staminate and pistillate flowers of Koelreuteria elegans subsp. formosana (Sapindaceae, Koelreuterieae) were studied. In both floral morphs, the floral nectary is extrastaminal, receptacular, thimble-shaped and persistent. The anatomical analysis revealed a differentiated secretory parenchyma and a less developed, inner non-secretory parenchyma. These anatomical features reveal that the nectary is structured, and is supplied by phloem traces derived from the central stele. In the middle of the floral nectary there are few modified stomata. The nectarostomata were of anomocytic type;they may occur atthe level of or sunken below the adjacent epidermal cells. Sta tistically significant differences were observed between both floral morphs in relation to nectar volume and the different moments of day, whereas the sugar concentration showed no significant differences.
