Surfaces Inspired by the Nepenthes Peristome for Unidirectional Liquid Transport.
Zhang P, Zhang L, Chen H, Dong Z, Zhang D. Zhang P, et al. Adv Mater. 2017 Dec;29(45). doi: 10.1002/adma.201702995. Epub 2017 Aug 7. Adv Mater. 2017. PMID: 28782892 Review.
The slippery peristome of the pitcher plant Nepenthes has attracted much attention due to its unique function for preying on insects. Recent findings on the peristome surface of Nepenthes alata demonstrate a fast and continuous unidirectional liquid transport …

Proteome analysis of digestive fluids in Nepenthes pitchers.
Rottloff S, Miguel S, Biteau F, Nisse E, Hammann P, Kuhn L, Chicher J, Bazile V, Gaume L, Mignard B, Hehn A, Bourgaud F. Rottloff S, et al. Ann Bot. 2016 Mar;117(3):479-95. doi: 10.1093/aob/mcw001. Ann Bot. 2016. PMID: 26912512 Free PMC article.
METHODS: In order to better characterize and have an overview of these proteins, digestive fluid was sampled from pitchers at different stages of maturity from five species of Nepenthes (N. mirabilis, N. alata, N. sanguinea, N. bicalcarata and N. albomarginata) that …

Plumbagin from a tropical pitcher plant (Nepenthes alata Blanco) induces apoptotic cell death via a p53-dependent pathway in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells.
De U, Son JY, Jeon Y, Ha SY, Park YJ, Yoon S, Ha KT, Choi WS, Lee BM, Kim IS, Kwak JH, Kim HS. De U, et al. Food Chem Toxicol. 2019 Jan;123:492-500. doi: 10.1016/j.fct.2018.11.040. Epub 2018 Nov 17. Food Chem Toxicol. 2019. PMID: 30458268
The aim of this study was to investigate the anticancer effects of plumbagin isolated from Nepenthes alata against MCF-7 breast cancer cells. We examined the cytotoxicity, cell cycle regulation, apoptotic cell death, and generation of intracellular reactive oxygen s …

Continuous directional water transport on the peristome surface of Nepenthes alata.
Chen H, Zhang P, Zhang L, Liu H, Jiang Y, Zhang D, Han Z, Jiang L. Chen H, et al. Nature. 2016 Apr 7;532(7597):85-9. doi: 10.1038/nature17189. Nature. 2016. PMID: 27078568
Here we study the prey-trapping pitcher organs of the carnivorous plant Nepenthes alata. We find that continuous, directional water transport occurs on the surface of the 'peristome'--the rim of the pitcher--because of its multiscale structure, which optimizes and e …

A novel microstructure inspired from Nepenthes alata and lizard skin and its enhanced uni-directional liquid spreading property.
Sun W, Tang L, Hong W, Zhan Y, Yang B, Liu J. Sun W, et al. RSC Adv. 2019 Mar 12;9(14):7842-7848. doi: 10.1039/c8ra08768g. eCollection 2019 Mar 6. RSC Adv. 2019. PMID: 35521210 Free PMC article.
With the discovery of the liquid spreading mechanism on the peristome of Nepenthes alata, many studies focusing on uni-directional liquid spreading microstructures have been carried out with an emphasis on structural improvement and the spreading mechanism. Although …

Dynamics of Taylor Rising.
Tian Y, Jiang Y, Zhou J, Doi M. Tian Y, et al. Langmuir. 2019 Apr 16;35(15):5183-5190. doi: 10.1021/acs.langmuir.9b00335. Epub 2019 Apr 5. Langmuir. 2019. PMID: 30916571
We study the dynamics of liquid climbing in a narrow and tilting corner, inspired by recent work on liquid transportation on the peristome surface of Nepenthes alata. Considering the balance of gravity, interfacial tension, and viscous force, we derive a partial dif …

Nepenthes ventrata Transcriptome Profiling Reveals a Similarity Between the Evolutionary Origins of Carnivorous Traps and Floral Organs.
Shchennikova AV, Beletsky AV, Filyushin MA, Slugina MA, Gruzdev EV, Mardanov AV, Kochieva EZ, Ravin NV. Shchennikova AV, et al. Front Plant Sci. 2021 May 28;12:643137. doi: 10.3389/fpls.2021.643137. eCollection 2021. Front Plant Sci. 2021. PMID: 34122470 Free PMC article.
In the present study, we addressed it by comparative transcriptomics analysis of leaves and leaf-derived pitcher traps from a predatory plant Nepenthes ventricosa Nepenthes alata. Pitchers were collected at three stages of development and a total of 12 transc …

RNA-seq analysis for plant carnivory gene discovery in Nepenthes ventrata.
Wan Zakaria WN, Loke KK, Goh HH, Mohd Noor N. Wan Zakaria WN, et al. Genom Data. 2015 Nov 10;7:18-9. doi: 10.1016/j.gdata.2015.11.007. eCollection 2016 Mar. Genom Data. 2015. PMID: 26981352 Free PMC article.
Carnivorous plants have the ability to capture and digest insects for nutrients, which allows them to survive in land deprived of nitrogenous nutrients. Nepenthes spp. are one of the carnivorous plants, which uniquely produce pitcher from the tip of an elongated leaf. This …
