Along with the emergence of green plants on this planet one billion years ago, the
nucleotide binding site leucine-rich repeat (NLR) gene family originated and diverged into at …

To survive in the nutrient-poor habitats, carnivorous plants capture small organisms
comprising complex substances not suitable for immediate reuse. The traps of carnivorous …

Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich-repeat (NLR) genes comprise the largest family of plant
disease-resistance genes. Angiosperm NLR genes are phylogenetically divided into the …

Root nodule symbiosis (RNS) between legumes and rhizobia is a major source of nitrogen
in agricultural systems. Effective symbiosis requires precise regulation of plant defense …

Charles Darwin recognized that carnivorous plants thrive in nutrient-poor soil by capturing
animals. Although the concept of botanical carnivory has been known for nearly 150 years …

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 …

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 …

Most of the great diversity of oxylipins in plants is produced by a group of specialized
cytochrome P450 enzymes, among which is ALLENE OXIDE SYNTHASE (AOS). Many …

Some of the most spectacular examples of botanical carnivory—in which predator plants
catch and digest animals presumably to supplement the nutrient-poor soils in which they …

Carnivorous plants feed on animal prey, mainly insects, to get additional nutrients. This
carnivorous syndrome is widely investigated and reported. In contrast, reports on herbivores …
