Sundew Trap Development: Proteomic perspective

Sundews evolved leaf traps to supplement their diet with minerals and organic materials from prey, facilitating growth and reproduction in nutrient-deficient habitats. Forked sundew (Drosera binata) has characteristic adhesive traps covered by glandular tentacles containing digestive enzymes. We investigated five visually distinct leaf developmental stages. We extracted proteins with detergent-containing buffer, cleaved them with magnetic beads-assisted protocol, and quantitatively measured peptides by liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometry. We revealed a different accumulation of several hundred proteins using strict statistics. At the webinar, I will propose functional implications and complementary studies.
