Form Follows Function: How to Build a Deadly Trap
2020
The carnivorous plant Utricularia gibba forms cup-shaped leaflets to capture prey. Whitewoods et al. (2020) use computational modeling to simulate the formation of the trap's 3D geometry. Directional expansion of the young leaflet is proposed to be a crucial morphogenetic driver, pointing at a fundamental principle of plant development.
