Extrafloral nectaries of annatto ( Bixa orellana L.): anatomy, nectar composition and activity during organ development
ABSTRACT This study aimed to anatomically characterize the extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) of annatto (Bixa orellana) and determine the composition of its nectar in order to better understand their structure and function during organ development. Standard light and scanning electron microscopy techniqu...
