Observations of the digestive glands, trigger hairs, epidermal surface, nectar glands, touch receptors, and stomata of Dionaea muscipula, the Venus's flytrap, were carried out by means of scanning electron microscopy. Previously undescribed details of the surface topography were resolved which may correlate with certain functions of the plant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
