Fig. 1.

Corolla opening size, nectar volume and nectar sugar concentration throughout the lifetime of a flower in the five oilseed rape cultivars. A, C & E: flower buds that were bagged at 18:00 and that opened before 9:00 the next morning, B, D & F: flower buds that were bagged at 9:00 and that opened at 11:00.Data are presented as the means±standard errors.

Daily nectar volume and daily nectar sugar concentration in the five oilseed rape cultivars on different flowering days. A & C: flower buds that were bagged at 18:00 and opened before 9:00 the next morning, B & D: flower buds that were bagged at 9:00 and opened at 11:00. Different lowercase letters indicate significant differences among cultivars on the same flowering day (Kruskal-Wallis test or one-way ANOVA, p<0.05). Different capital letters indicate significant differences among different flowering days for the same cultivar (Mann-Whitney U test, independent samples t test or Kruskal-Wallis test; p<0.05).

Total nectar yield and average nectar sugar concentration in the five oilseed rape cultivars. Group A: flower buds that were bagged at 18:00 and opened before 9:00 the next morning, Group B: flower buds that were bagged at 9:00 and opened at 11:00. Different lowercase letters indicate significant differences among cultivars for the flowers opening at the same time (Kruskal-Wallis test or one-way ANOVA, p<0.05). Different capital letters indicate significant differences between flowers of the same cultivar that opened at different times (Mann-Whitney U test or independent samples t test; p<0.05).
