Background A plant is considered carnivorous if it receives any noticeable benefit from
catching small animals. The morphological and physiological adaptations to carnivorous …

The lipid-derived jasmonate phytohormones (JAs) regulate a wide spectrum of physiological
processes in plants such as growth, development, tolerance to abiotic stresses, and defence …

Carnivorous plants exploit animals as a nutritional source and have inspired long-standing
questions about the origin and evolution of carnivory-related traits. To investigate the …

The present study aims to define the effects of Cold Atmospheric Pressure Plasma (CAPP)
exposure on seed germination of an agriculturally important crop, soybean. Seed treatment …

The carnivorous sundew plant (Drosera capensis) captures prey using sticky tentacles. We
investigated the tentacle and trap reactions in response to the electrical and jasmonate …

Great attention is currently being paid to the application of non-thermal plasma in
agriculture. Seed germination is the first and critical time in the life cycle of each plant. Cold …

Background The cost–benefit model for the evolution of botanical carnivory provides a
conceptual framework for interpreting a wide range of comparative and experimental studies …

In the carnivorous plant Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula), the sequence of events after
prey capture resembles the well‐known plant defence signalling pathway in response to …

Climate change, environmental pollution and pathogen resistance to available chemical
agents are part of the problems that the food industry has to face in order to ensure healthy …

The carnivorous plants in the order Caryophyllales co-opted jasmonate signalling from plant
defence to botanical carnivory. However, carnivorous plants have at least 11 independent …
