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 ...
