Overcoming DNA extraction problems from carnivorous plants

open access: yesAnales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2009
We tested previously published protocols for DNA isolation from plants with high contents of polyphenols and polysaccharides for several taxa of carnivorous plants.

Catapulting tentacles in a sticky carnivorous plant.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Among trapping mechanisms in carnivorous plants, those termed 'active' have especially fascinated scientists since Charles Darwin's early works because trap movements are involved.

A novel approach for reliable qualitative and quantitative prey spectra identification of carnivorous plants combining DNA metabarcoding and macro photography

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Prey spectra (the number and composition of captured arthropods) represent a crucial aspect of carnivorous plant ecology, yet remain poorly studied. Traditional morphology-based approaches for prey identification are time-intensive, require specialists ...

Anticancer and Antioxidant Activities of the Root Extract of the Carnivorous Pitcher Plant Sarracenia purpurea

open access: yesPlants, 2022
The carnivorous pitcher plant Sarracenia purpurea exhibits many ethnobotanical uses, including the treatments of type 2 diabetes and tuberculosis-like symptoms. In this study, we prepared different extracts from the leaves (pitchers), stems, and roots of

The complete plastid genome of carnivorous pitcher plant Cephalotus follicularis

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
Cephalotus follicularis is a carnivorous plant native to southwest Australia that belongs to the monospecific family Cephalotaceae. It forms both carnivorous pitcher leaves and non-carnivorous flat leaves, the pitcher leave makes it able to attract ...

The digestive systems of carnivorous plants

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 2022
Abstract To survive in the nutrient-poor habitats, carnivorous plants capture small organisms comprising complex substances not suitable for immediate reuse. The traps of carnivorous plants, which are analogous to the digestive systems of animals, are equipped with mechanisms for the breakdown and absorption of nutrients.

Phylogeny and biogeography of the carnivorous plant family Sarraceniaceae. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The carnivorous plant family Sarraceniaceae comprises three genera of wetland-inhabiting pitcher plants: Darlingtonia in the northwestern United States, Sarracenia in eastern North America, and Heliamphora in northern South America. Hypotheses concerning

Rampant chloroplast capture in Sarracenia revealed by plastome phylogeny

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Introgression can produce novel genetic variation in organisms that hybridize. Sympatric species pairs in the carnivorous plant genus Sarracenia L. frequently hybridize, and all known hybrids are fertile. Despite being a desirable system for studying the

AI–Guided 4D Printing of Carnivorous Plants–Inspired Microneedles for Accelerated Wound Healing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents an artificial intelligence (AI)‐guided 4D‐printed microneedle platform inspired by carnivorous plants for wound healing. A thermo‐responsive shape memory polymer enables body temperature–triggered self‐coiling for autonomous wound closure.
