The conserved and high K-to-Na ratio in sunflower pollen: Possible implications for bee health and plant-bee interactions
Sodium (Na) concentrations are low in plant tissues, and its metabolic function in plants is minor; however, Na is a key nutrient for plant consumers. Previous studies have thus far focused on Na concentration. Nevertheless, a balanced potassium (K) to Na ratio (K:Na) is more important than Na conce...
