Excellence in plant and microbial science
The team used a combination of 3D imaging, cell and clonal analysis and computational modelling to understand how carnivorous plant traps are shaped, showing how Utricularia gibba traps grow from a near spherical ball of cells into a mature trap capable of capturing prey
