Cyclotides are cyclic plant polypeptides of 27–37 amino acid residues. They have been
extensively studied in bioengineering and drug development contexts. However, less is known …

Background and aims In the Brassicaceae family, apomictic development is characteristic of
the genus Boechera. Hybridization, polyploidy and environmental adaptation that arose …

Carnivorous plants are mixotrophs that have developed the ability to lure, trap, and digest
small organisms and utilize components of the digested bodies. Leaves of Drosophyllum …

Utricularia (bladderworts) are carnivorous plants. They produce small hollow vesicles, which
function as suction traps that work underwater and capture fine organisms. Inside the traps, …

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; …

The digestive organs of carnivorous plants have external (abaxial) glands and trichomes,
which perform various functions. Dionaea muscipula Ellis (the Venus flytrap) is a model …

We recently showed that yellow lupine is highly sensitive to soil water deficits since this
stressor disrupts nodule structure and functioning, and at the same time triggers flower …

The two-armed bifids (bifid trichomes) occur on the external (abaxial) trap surface, petiole,
and stem of the aquatic carnivorous plant Aldrovanda vesiculosa (Droseracee). These …

Main conclusion The distribution of cyclotides was visualized in plant cells, tissues and
organs using immunohistochemistry. Finding of cyclotides in tissues potentially vulnerable to …

Carnivorous plants can survive in poor habitats because they have the ability to attract,
capture, and digest prey and absorb animal nutrients using modified organs that are equipped …
