Abstract
The carnivorous plant Utricularia gibba forms cup-shaped leaflets to capture prey. Whitewoods etal. (2020) use computational modeling to simulate the formation of the trap's 3D geometry. Directional expansion of the young leaflet is proposed to be a crucial morphogenetic driver, pointing at a fundamental principle of plant development.
