"Sweet but dangerous": nectaries in carnivorous plants
Acta Agrobotanica, 2012 In carnivorous plants, two types of nectaries occur: extra-floral nectaries, generally associated with prey luring, and floral ones associated with pollination.

Distribution and natural history of carnivorous plants of Saskatchewan, Canada [PDF]
Check List, 2013 We provide distribution maps of carnivorous plants as well as an assessment of rarity status and potential threats to diversity of carnivorous taxa in Saskatchewan using a biodiversity informatics approach. Saskatchewan is home to ten carnivorous species

Carnivorous plants: unveiling trophic identity and advanced nitrogen acquisition strategies
Progress in Earth and Planetary ScienceCarnivorous and parasitic plants have captured attention not only for public but also for researchers for centuries. Instead of absorbing inorganic nitrogen from soils, they can obtain some or most of their nutrients from heterotrophic organisms.

Overcoming DNA extraction problems from carnivorous plants
Anales 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.

Why do aquatic carnivorous plants prefer growing in dystrophic waters?
Acta Biologica Slovenica, 2012 The majority of aquatic carnivorous plants (ACPS; Aldrovanda, Utricularia) usually grow in shallow dystrophic waters. In these habitats, rootless ACPs usually grow together with rooted aquatic non-carnivorous plants (N-ACPs).

Carnivorous plants and their biotic interactions
Journal of Plant Interactions, 2022 Carnivorous plants reverse the order we expect in nature: here, animals do not feed on plants, but plants hunt and feed on animal prey, primarily insects, thereby enabling these plants to survive in nutrient-poor environments.

Omics Approaches in Uncovering Molecular Evolution and Physiology of Botanical Carnivory
Plants, 2023 Systems biology has been increasingly applied with multiple omics for a holistic comprehension of complex biological systems beyond the reductionist approach that focuses on individual molecules.

Molecular Phylogenomics Reveals the Deep Evolutionary History of Carnivory across Land Plants
Plants, 2023 Plastid molecular phylogenies that broadly sampled angiosperm lineages imply that carnivorous plants evolved at least 11 times independently in 13 families and 6 orders.

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2022 Carnivorous plants of the genus Utricularia (bladderwort) form modified leaves into suction bladder traps. The bladders are metabolically active plant tissue with high rates of mitochondrial respiration (RD).

Evaluating the adaptive evolutionary convergence of carnivorous plant taxa through functional genomics [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Carnivorous plants are striking examples of evolutionary convergence, displaying complex and often highly similar adaptations despite lack of shared ancestry. Using available carnivorous plant genomes along with non-carnivorous reference taxa, this study
