Propagation of Drosera rotundifolia and Drosera capensis in an in vitro Culture System [PDF]
Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca. Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2017 Drosera rotundifolia and Drosera capensis (Droseraceae) are carnivorous plants grown as ornamentals and sources for homeopathic medicine. The aim of this study was to optimize nutrient and growth regulator concentrations for the in vitro propagation of ...

Structural and functional characterization of chitinase from carnivorous plant Drosera adelae. [PDF]
FEBS Open BioA class I chitinase from the carnivorous plant Drosera adelae was expressed and purified using a yeast system, revealing high enzymatic activity. Structural analyses of the catalytic and chitin‐binding domains identified key tyrosine residues involved in substrate binding, offering insights into the enzyme's adaptation for insect digestion.

The carnivorous rainbow plant Byblis filifolia Planch. secretes digestive enzymes in response to prey capture independently of jasmonates. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Secretion of digestive enzymes in response to prey capture in carnivorous plants with sticky traps is regulated by jasmonates in Drosera capensis but differently by unknown factor in Byblis filifolia. Abstract Carnivorous plants from the order Caryophyllales co‐opted plant phytohormones from a group of jasmonates to regulate digestive enzyme activity ...

How the diversity in digestion in carnivorous plants may have evolved. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Carnivorous plants secrete digestive enzymes for prey degradation. Although carnivorous plants have a polyphyletic origin and evolved several times independently, they surprisingly co‐opted similar digestive enzymes during convergent evolution.

Design and Analysis of Untargeted Metabolomics Experiments. [PDF]
Curr ProtocAbstract Untargeted metabolomics is a powerful approach for identifying small molecules from highly complex mixtures, such as biological tissues or environmental samples. This technology enables the relatively fast and inexpensive identification of metabolites in situations where many or most of the chemical species are unknown before the experiment ...

A chromosome-scale genome of Sarracenia purpurea reveals a significant expansion of plant defense and stress response gene families following paleopolyploidization. [PDF]
Plant GenomeAbstract Plant carnivory evolved through gene co‐option and whole genome duplications (WGDs) over millions of years in at least 13 independent flowering plant lineages, but its genetic mechanisms remain largely unknown. To elucidate these mechanisms in Sarraceniaceae, we sequenced and assembled the Sarracenia purpurea genome and conducted a comparative
