- W2139014719 abstract "Nectar reabsorption in flowering plants seems to be a rare phenomenon and to our knowledge it has not been reported previously in the Orchidaceae. In this study we present data that show statistically significant differences in nectar sugar concentrations before and after pollination. Virgin flowers of the African epiphytic orchid Aerangis verdickii showed mean sugar concentrations in the nectar of 14.4 and of 18.3% in 1994 and 1995, respectively (sucrose mass by mass equivalent). Sugar concentration in nectar from naturally pollinated flowers had a mean of 3.2 and of 8.7% for the same period. In an experiment in the wild 60 flowers were protected against nectar theft by the ants. Half of those flowers were hand-pollinated. Control (virgin) flowers had nectar with a mean value of 13.8%, while flowers measured 48 h after pollination had a mean sugar concentration of 4.3%. The mean volume of nectar based on measurements of 23 virgin flowers from nine different plants was 19 µL. We estimated an average energy value for the nectar produced of 684 J per plant per season. At the study site, over 60% of the unmanipulated flowers were robbed of all their nectar by arboreal ants, Polyrachis spp. (Formicinae). The adaptive significance of nectar reabsorption for A. verdickii is probably a function of the environmental stresses to which it has been exposed and the relative costs of nectar production." @default.
