Abstract/Summary

The Venus flytrap possesses modified leaves that can snap shut fast enough to catch a fly. A new study identifies the major components of the toolkit that allows the flytrap to fire action potentials, illustrating how different ion channels and transporters are recruited to give rise to this unique plant behavioural response.
