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

Members of the pepsin-like family (A1) of aspartic proteases (APs) are widely distributed in
plants. A large number of genes encoding putative A1 APs are found in different plant …

Plants interface with and modify the external environment across their surfaces, and in so
doing, can control or mitigate the impacts of abiotic stresses and also mediate their …

Nepenthes, as the largest family of carnivorous plants, is found with an extensive
geographical distribution throughout the Malay Archipelago, specifically in Borneo …

Neprosin was first discovered in the insectivorous tropical pitcher plants of Nepenthes
species as a novel protease with prolyl endopeptidase (PEP) activity. Neprosin has two …

Abstract Background and Aims General anaesthetics are compounds that induce loss of
responsiveness to environmental stimuli in animals and humans. The primary site of action …

In Eukaryotes, long-distance and rapid signal transmission is required in order to be able to
react fast and flexibly to external stimuli. This long-distance signal transmission cannot take …

In his famous book Insectivorous plants, Charles Darwin observed that the bending
response of tentacles in the carnivorous sundew plant Drosera rotundifolia was not triggered …

Processes influencing recruitment of diverse bacteria to plant microbiomes remain poorly
understood. In the carnivorous pitcher plant Sarracenia purpurea model system, individual …
