How the diversity in digestion in carnivorous plants may have evolved. [PDF]

open access: yesNew Phytol
Summary 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.

The power of ionic movements in plants. [PDF]

open access: yesNew Phytol
Summary The movement of ion‐driven electrogenic events known as plant action potentials in the Venus flytrap Dionaea muscipula has first been recognized in Darwin's time. Besides electrophysiological techniques making use of current‐ and voltage‐recording electrodes, today an ever‐growing spectrum of tools has become available, that report online ...

A chromosome-scale genome of Sarracenia purpurea reveals a significant expansion of plant defense and stress response gene families following paleopolyploidization. [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Genome
Abstract 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

Quinones from 'Gondwanan' sundews [PDF]

open access: yesCarnivorous Plant Newsletter, 2019
The acetogenic naphthoquinones, plumbagin (P in this paper) and ramentaceone (= 7-methyl- juglone, M in this paper), are important chemotaxonomic markers in sundews (Drosera L.) (D rand & Zenk 1974; Culham & Gornall 1994; Schlauer & Fleischmann 2016; Schlauer et al. 2017; 2018).
