Response of Selected Carnivorous Plants to Thidiazuron and RNA Extraction of Drosera x tokaiensis by Lim, Ying Houng

“…A range of concentrations of thidiazuron (TDZ) at 0.00, 0.01, 0.05, 0.20, 1.00 and 5.00 mg/L was tested on Drosera x tokaiensis, Drosera burmanii and Dionea muscipula to determine the optimum concentration for inducing somatic embryogenesis (SE) in each of the species. …”

How dangerous is a Drosera? Limb autotomy increases passive predation risk in crickets by Cross, Adam, Bateman, Bill

“…We explored this interaction experimentally using prey of different size and autotomy state (laboratory-raised crickets) exposed to a sessile predator (the carnivorous plant Drosera collina). Data indicated a strong relationship between capture likelihood and autotomy state, with capture likelihood increasing from 6% in intact crickets (those retaining both hind legs) to 31% in single autotomized and 44% in double autotomized individuals. …”

Systematics and evolution of droseraceae by Fleischmann, A., Cross, Adam, Gibson, R., Gonella, P., Dixon, Kingsley

“…The Droseraceae belongs to the botanical order Nepenthales and comprises three genera: Drosera (sundews) with adhesive traps; and the sister genera Dionaea (Venus’ flytrap) and Aldrovanda (waterwheel plant), each of which evolved snap-traps. …”

Plastome-wide rearrangements and gene losses in carnivorous droseraceae by Nevill, Paul, Howell, K.A., Cross, Adam, Williams, A.V., Zhong, X., Tonti-Filippini, J., Boykin, L.M., Dixon, Kingsley, Small, I.

“…The plastid genomes of four related carnivorous plants (Drosera regia, Drosera erythrorhiza, Aldrovanda vesiculosa, and Dionaea muscipula) were sequenced to examine changes potentially induced by the transition to carnivory. …”

Determining prey spectra of carnivorous sundews using DNA-metabarcoding by Krueger, Thilo Alexander

“…Prey spectra of five closely-related species of carnivorous plants (Drosera sect. Arachnopus, Droseraceae) were investigated in their natural habitats in Western Australia using novel in-situ macro photography and DNA-metabarcoding techniques. …”

Fire-stimulated flowering among resprouters and geophytes in Australia and South Africa by Lamont, Byron, Downes, K.

“…The evolutionary history of fsf has been explored recently in orchids, proteas, blood roots, droseras, and mistletoes and shown to stretch back over a period of at least 50 million years, indicating that flowering in many groups has a long association with fire as an agent of natural selection.…”
