Abstract

Carnivory, the ability of plants to attract, catch, kill and digest insects to obtain nutrients, has evolved
independently several times in plant evolution. A comprehensive analysis of the genome, transcriptome and
proteome of prey digestion in a pitcher plant shows how carnivory in plants is the product of convergent evolution.
