A análise genética esclareceu a relação da S. candelabrum com outras plantas carnívoras pegajosas, revelando genes compartilhados ligados a características como atração de presas, digestão e absorção de nutrientes. Quando os cientistas expandiram sua investigação para incluir outros tipos de armadilhas, encontraram dezenas de genes em diferentes grupos de plantas relacionados à digestão de restos de insetos.

(CNN) — Sticky “hairs” on two plant species in the Saxifraga genus led famed British naturalist Charles Darwin to wonder: Could some plants in this genus be carnivorous? He couldn’t prove it then, but more than 150 years later, scientists have shown that Darwin’s suspicions were correct. Darwin proposed in 1875 that Saxifraga rotundifolia and S. umbrosa were insect-eaters; their hairlike structures called glandular trichomes ooze a sticky goo and resemble hairs found in some carnivorous plants.

En ese momento no pudo demostrarlo, pero más de 150 años después, científicos comprobaron que sus sospechas eran correctas. Darwin propuso en 1875 que Saxifraga rotundifolia y S. umbrosa eran plantas insectívoras.
