| Abstract
|
:
|
Floral nectar is a sweet, aqueous secretion that mainly consists of sugars and to a lesser extent amino acids. It is offered by plants to entice pollinators and to ensure pollination and thus sexual reproduction. This book discusses several benefits of plant nectar. It also discusses the production and chemical composition of nectar.
