Digital image correlation techniques for motion analysis and biomechanical characterization of plants by Max D. Mylo, Max D. Mylo, Simon Poppinga

“…In addition to the analysis of wood and trees, where DIC has been used since the 1990s, this is demonstrated by numerous recent approaches in the contexts of parasite-host attachment, cactus joint biomechanics, fruit peel impact resistance, and slow as well as fast movement phenomena in cones and traps of carnivorous plants. Despite some technical and preparative efforts, DIC is a very powerful tool for full-field 2D/3D displacement and strain analyses of plant structures, which is suitable for numerous in-depth research questions in the fields of plant biomechanics and morphogenesis.…”

The pitcher plant Sarracenia purpurea can directly acquire organic nitrogen and short-circuit the inorganic nitrogen cycle. by Jim D Karagatzides, Jessica L Butler, Aaron M Ellison

“…Although some vascular plants can assimilate organic nitrogen directly, only recently has organic nitrogen been found to contribute significantly to the nutrient budget of any plant. Carnivorous plants grow in extremely nutrient-poor environments and carnivory has evolved in these plants as an alternative pathway for obtaining nutrients. …”

Specialized naphthoquinones present in Impatiens glandulifera nectaries inhibit the growth of fungal nectar microbes by Anna K. Block, Elena Yakubova, Joshua R. Widhalm

“…Given that other 1,4‐NQs present in the digestive fluids of certain carnivorous plants are proposed to control microbial colonization, we investigated the potential for the 1,4‐NQs, 2‐methoxy‐1,4‐naphthoquinone (2‐MNQ) and lawsone, to fulfill an analogous role in the nectaries of I. glandulifera. …”
