Cells, 2022 Carnivorous plants are unique due to their ability to attract small animals or protozoa, retain them in specialized traps, digest them, and absorb nutrients from the dissolved prey material; however, to this end, these plants need a special secretion ...

Mutualists or parasites? Context-dependent influence of symbiotic fly larvae on carnivorous investment in the Albany pitcher plant [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Carnivorous plants allocate more resources to carnivorous structures under nutrient-limited conditions, and relative investment can also be influenced by animals (infauna) that live in association with these plants and feed on their prey. We investigated

The contribution of insect prey to the total nitrogen content of sundews (Drosera spp.) determined in situ by stable isotope analysis [PDF]
, 2003 The contribution of insect prey to total N in the carnivorous plants, Drosera rotundifolia and D. intermedia, was quantified in situ and without any experimental manipulation using natural abundance stable isotope analysis. Samples of D.

Conservation of carnivorous plants
, 2018 In this chapter, we review the key conservation issues concerning carnivorous plants, focusing on two geographical regions—the USA and southwest Australia—and one widespread genus(Nepenthes), as these are the only groups currently amenable to analysis ...

Carnivorous Nepenthes x ventrata plants use a naphthoquinone as phytoanticipin against herbivory.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Carnivorous plants feed on animal prey, mainly insects, to get additional nutrients. This carnivorous syndrome is widely investigated and reported. In contrast, reports on herbivores feeding on carnivorous plants and related defenses of the plants under ...

RNA-seq analysis for plant carnivory gene discovery in Nepenthes × ventrata
Genomics Data, 2016 Carnivorous plants have the ability to capture and digest insects for nutrients, which allows them to survive in land deprived of nitrogenous nutrients. Nepenthes spp.
