Myrmecophytes – A Wonder in Mutualistic World
Abstract: In nature, organisms have an inherent ability to interact with each other constructing the ultimate basis of simple to diversified relationships among themselves. Myrmecophytes emerge because of the complex association between plants and ants which coevolve over time. They develop specialized structures and mechanisms to interact with ants in a mutualistic manner. Ant’s dispersal of seeds via myrmecochory, extrafloral nectaries, food bodies, and domatia are among several tools that make …
