“…In addition to the trapping of animals, carnivorous plants, by definition, digest and utilise their prey [1,20]. The absorption of small molecules into the epidermis by means of methylene blue staining was confirmed for all investigated species, as was to be expected from earlier results [12,21,22]. Protease production and digestion within 48 h after stimulation seems to be present in the majority of Sarraceniaceae, including Darlingtonia and Heliamphora [23], but lacking in the closely related [24] species S. rosea and S. purpurea .…”

“…Some nutrients from this solution are readily taken up by the cells lining the pitcher . Experiments utilizing radiotracers added to the pitcher fluid have shown that Mn 2+ is among the nutrients taken up from this fluid, but Fe 2+ and Zn 2+ are not , . Consequently, not all divalent trace metals present in the prey will be assimilated by the plant.…”
