THE MODIFIED STOMATA OF THE FLORAL NECTARY OF VICIA FABA L. 2. STOMATAL NUMBER AND DISTRIBUTION AS SELECTION CRITERIA FOR BREEDING FOR HIGH NECTAR SUGAR PRODUCTION |
| Authors: | A.R. Davis, B.E.S. Gunning |
| Abstract:
Total nectar sugar production by flowers cultured as mature buds on sucrose solution was positively correlated with the percentage of modified stomata on the extreme tip of the nectary projections of five selections of Vicia faba cv. Aquadulce. However, yield of nectar sugar was not significantly correlated with the total number of nectary stomata. Longer nectary projections possessed more modified stomata. | |
