The morphological and physiological adaptations to carnivorous existence is most complex in plants, thanks to which carnivorous plants have been cited by Darwin as ‘the most wonderful plants in the world’. When considering the range of these adaptations, one realizes that the carnivory is a result of a multitude of different features. † Scope This review discusses a selection of relevant articles, culled from a wide array of research topics on plant carnivory, and focuses in particular on physiological processes associated with active trapping and digestion of http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/ prey. Carnivory offers the plants special advantages in habitats where nutrient supply is scarce. Counterbalancing costs are the investments in synthesis and the maintenance of trapping organs and hydrolysing enzymes.

  • Carnivorous Plant Responses to Resource Availability
    Carnivorous plant responses to resource availability: environmental interactions, morphology and biochemistry Christopher R. Hatcher A doctoral thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University November 2019 © by Christopher R. Hatcher (2019) Abstract Understanding how organisms respond to resources available in the environment is a fundamental goal of ecology. Resource availability controls ecological processes at all levels of organisation, from molecular characteristics of individuals to community and biosphere. Climate change and other anthropogenically driven factors are altering environmental resource availability, and likely affects ecology at all levels of organisation. It is critical, therefore, to understand the ecological impact of environmental variation at a range of spatial and temporal scales. Consequently, I bring physiological, ecological, biochemical and evolutionary research together to determine how plants respond to resource availability. In this thesis I have measured the effects of resource availability on phenotypic plasticity, intraspecific trait variation and metabolic responses of carnivorous sundew plants. Carnivorous plants are interesting model systems for a range of evolutionary and ecological questions because of their specific adaptations to attaining nutrients. They can, therefore, provide interesting perspectives on existing questions, in this case trait-environment interactions, plant strategies and plant responses to predicted future environmental scenarios. In a manipulative experiment, I measured the phenotypic plasticity of naturally shaded Drosera rotundifolia in response to disturbance mediated changes in light availability over successive growing seasons. Following selective disturbance, D. rotundifolia became more carnivorous by increasing the number of trichomes and trichome density. These plants derived more N from prey and flowered earlier.

  • Natural Forest Community Delineation Methods
    Natural Forest Community Delineation Methods Keith A. Bradley and George D. Gann February 2, 2005 The Institute for Regional Conservation 22601 S.W. 152 Avenue; Miami, Florida 33170 George D. Gann, Executive Director Introduction The Natural Forest Community (NFC) system was established in 1984 under ordinance 89-9, Chapter 24-60 of the Miami-Dade County Code. The ordinance provides legal protection for sites designated by the county as NFCs: “Natural Forest Community shall mean all stands of trees (including their associated understory) which were designated as Natural Forest Communities on the Dade County Natural Forest Community Maps and approved by the Board of County Commissioners, pursuant to Resolution No. R-1764-84.” Factors for reviewing proposed Natural Forest Community sites in the original ordinance included: 1) Presence of endangered, threatened, rare, or endemic species (plants or animals); 2) Plant species diversity on the site; 3) Size of trees; 4) Size of site; 5) Wildlife habitat value; 6) Geological features; and 7) Percentage of site covered by non-native plant species. As required by the ordinance, quantitative evaluation criteria were developed by DERM incorporating the above factors, including separate criteria for the delineation of hardwood hammocks and pinelands. These criteria have become outdated as more scientifically rigorous criteria for delineating natural areas have been developed since 1984, primarily relating to delineation of wetland habitats. Some of the methods used to delineate NFCs by DERM proved to be ineffective including the establishment of transects to measure plant species cover and diversity on each site. As specified in section 151 of the ordinance, evaluation criteria may be revised occasionally.

  • Brocchinia Reducta Light Preferences
    BROCCHINIA REDUCTA LIGHT PREFERENCES BARRY RICE • P.O. Box 72741 • Davis, CA 95617 • USA • [email protected] Keywords: cultivation: Brocchinia reducta, lighting. Brocchinia reducta is one of those species of plants that has, at best, mixed support by carnivorous plant growers. The plant’s problem is that it is usually relegated to the ranks of semi- carnivory, or even noncarnivory. This is because it apparently does not produce its own digestive enzymes, nor does it seem particularly specialized for capturing insects. In fact, most photographs of the plant in cultivation show that it looks like a fairly unimpressive, urn-shaped bromeliad (see Figures 1, 2). I have grown this plant for nearly a decade, and agree that in most settings it is indeed a rather boring bromeliad. I do not even maintain plants in my own collection, instead I grow the plants at the University of California (Davis) collections. It is trivial to grow—it does not seem to care too much about the soil medium, and keeping it in a 1:1:1 sand:perlite:peat mix or 3:1 perlite:sphagnum mix and temperatures anywhere in the range 15-35ºC (60-95ºF) works just fine. I provide the plants with purified water, which I pour directly into the pitcher urn. I do not fertilize them. Typically a plant matures within a few years, produces an inflorescence, and then dies. As it rots away, two or more new shoots emerge from the plant—these are called pups by bromeli- ad growers—and they can be separated when the parent plant rots away.

Agrar. Parana., Marechal Cândido Rondon, v. 19, n. 4, oct./dec., p. 312-320, 2020 ABSTRACT - The purpose of the review is to comment on available data on the application of plant tissue culture to carnivorous plants. Thus, the review encompassed publications from 1979 to 2017 along in vitro germination studies and micropropagation techniques, such as somatic embryogenesis and organogenesis, which emphasized the responses of plant materials to the stimuli offered during in vitro culture. Tissue culture in carnivorous plants is presented as a tool to promote the increase of the population of these plants either for scientific and commercial purposes or for the conservation and reintroduction in their natural habitat, in order to ensure a sustainable exploitation of this nutritional pattern of plants. In general terms, the studies carried out were limited to the following aspects: cultivation technique, explant source, exogenously applied substances and culture medium. The review also revealed the absence of defined protocols for in vitro multiplication of large-scale carnivorous plants. Keywords: biotechnology, in vitro cultivation, insectivorous plants, micropropagation. CULTURA DE TECIDOS APLICADA A ESPÉCIES CARNÍVORAS RESUMO - O objetivo da revisão é comentar dados disponíveis sobre a aplicação da cultura de tecidos vegetais para plantas carnívoras. Assim, a revisão englobou publicações de 1979 a 2017 com estudos de germinação in vitro e técnicas de micropropagação, como embriogênese somática e organogênese, os quais enfatizam as respostas dos materiais vegetais aos estímulos oferecidos durante o cultivo in vitro.
