Other claims from this paper (4)
- Method / resource The authors constructed a N. attenuata transcriptome database and characterized its nectar proteome.
- Observation N. attenuata floral nectar contained nectarins, sugar-cleaving enzymes, RNases, pathogen-related proteins and lipid transfer proteins.
- Association Across eleven N. attenuata accessions, nectarin1b and nectarin5 accumulation were negatively related.
- Association Floral nectar protein accumulation did not simply correlate with transcripts encoding those proteins.
