“…To understand the nexus of genes and processes that are activated in C. pepo nectaries throughout maturation, we decided to take a transcriptomic strategy. This approach was previously used with Arabidopsis nectaries (Kram, Xu, & Carter, ) and led to the identification of key genes that regulate nectary function and nectar production [e.g., (Bender et al., , ; Kram & Carter, ; Lin et al., ; Ruhlmann et al., ; Schmitt, Roy, Klinkenberg, Jia, & Carter, ; Wiesen et al., )]. Squash nectaries are considerably larger than Arabidopsis (~1 cm diameter for squash vs. ~100 μm for Arabidopsis) and produce relatively large amounts of nectar (>50 μl for squash vs. ≪1 μl for Arabidopsis, per flower).…”

“…While Arabidopsis and Nicotiana spp. have been extensively studied as genetic models for nectar production (Bender et al., , ; Carter, Graham, & Thornburg, ; Carter, Shafir, Yehonatan, Palmer, & Thornburg, ; Carter & Thornburg, , , ,,; Carter et al., ; Hampton et al., ; Horner et al., ; Kram & Carter, ; Kram et al., ; Lin et al., ; Liu & Thornburg, ; Liu et al., ; Naqvi et al., ; Ren, Healy, Horner, et al., ; Ren, Healy, Klyne, et al., ; Roy et al., ; Ruhlmann et al., ; Stitz, Hartl, Baldwin, & Gaquerel, ; Thomas, Hampton, Dorn, Marks, & Carter, ; Thornburg et al., ; Wiesen et al., ), an expansion of molecular biology approaches into other systems with larger nectaries (Figure ) that produce copious amounts of nectar will aid our understanding of nectary biology, particularly with regard to quantitative biochemical, physiological, and comparative studies. Our study has revealed a plethora of squash genes and metabolic processes that are temporally regulated as the nectary progresses from pre‐secretion to secretion to post‐secretion stages of development.…”

“…Sucrose was not detected at all in the nectar, this has also documented by Wenzler [33]. Talose (a rare sugar) and arabinose were reported to be a component of the nectar of Brassica napa [34]. Benzyl alcohol/(Benzene methanol,4-hydroxy) is known to be insect attractant and reported to be major components of floral [35][36][37][38][39][40].…”

“…Floral nectar is a food reward for pollinator visitation, and Brassica spp. have larger flowers and nectaries that increase their attractiveness to pollinators (Ali et al ., ; Bender et al ., ). A wide variety of butterflies have been recorded as flower‐visitors in Brassica crops (Chaudhary, ; Chifflet et al ., ; Mesa et al ., ).…”
