The trap employed by flytrap Venus is similar to the traps employed by the Telegraph plant, Mimosa, bladderworts and sundews. With the help of its trapping mechanism, the Venus flytrap catches its prey. The leaf blade has two sections; one is flat while the other hangs from the midriff as...
Recruitment of genes to the trap from the root especially was a major mechanism in the evolution of carnivory, supported by family-specific duplications. Still, these genomes belong to the gene poorest land plants sequenced thus far, suggesting reduction of selective pressure on different processes,...
(b) a bi-layered biomimetic flytrap based on a gel consisting of a mixture of three different components that is triggered by using enzyme [60]; (c) temperature response process of a rGO/PDMAEMA composite hydrogel sheet-based snap-trap structure [61]; (d) a pure humidity-responsive ...
Researchers have discovered a mysterious, glowing sea slug that operates like a deep-sea Venus fly trap. This ocean-dwelling creature isbioluminescentand gives off a neon-blue glow, making it extremely unique. Scientists say it’s like a mix between a jellyfish and a houseplant. The mollusk ...
