Effects of Temperature and Water Stress on Some Floral Nectar Characteristics in Ipomopsis Longiflora (Polemoniaceae) Under Controlled Conditions

The effects of temperature and water stress on some floral nectar characteristics are examined. Sucrose levels and nectar volume were affected by only high temperature and only water stress respectively. Temperature and water stress did affect flower size but did not alter sugar concentration.
