PhD studentship (funded) : Modification and developmental control of leaf surface wettability in floating aquatic plants

University of Exeter | Exeter, England | United Kingdom | about 5 hours ago

in leaf size, shape and surface texture, all species have an astonishing ability to self-right when flipped over. Preliminary data indicate that drastic differences in surface wettability between

PhD studentship (funded): Function, biochemistry and development of wettable trapping surfaces in three lineages of carnivorous pitcher plants

investigates how plants tweak their leaf surfaces to make them fully wettable (“superhydrophilic”), yet waterproof. Utilizing three separate lineages of carnivorous pitcher plants, the project aims to unravel
