Morphological studies on leaf epidermis in six species of Nekemias Raf. (#Vitaceae) from #China phytotaxa.mapress.com/pt/article/vie… #Taxonomy

This week’s topic: Sticky plants! Yep, mucilages & glues; form & function. Lots to talk about. Some stickiness has an obvious function, e.g. insect trapping on Drosera (#Drosophyllaceae) & adhesive pads on climbing Parthenocissus quinquefolia (#Vitaceae). #stickyplant

📢Passionate about #Vitaceae and #Evolution?🍇🧬😎 Share your research at #IBC2024 's "Systematics, Biogeography, Adaptation and Utilization of the #grape family Vitaceae" symposium! 👉🏾More info here: ibcmadrid2024.com/index.php?secc…  Deadline: November 30.

#Students and young #botanists at EA earlier today during our monthly #plant walks around the @museumsofkenya compound. They learnt the spot characters for differentiating #Curcubitaceae, #Passifloraceae & #Vitaceae, among other families led by @Kennedoz #Nairobi #Kenya

Parthenocissus의 등반 기관( #Vitaceae )은 접착 패드가 있는 꽃차례 상동 덩굴손입니다. 이는 #climbers 중에서 다소 특이한 구조입니다. 패드는 이를 지지하는 나무, 벽, 울타리 등에 고정시키는 접착제를 분비합니다 📷 : Parthenocissus quinquefolia #climber

The climbing organs of Parthenocissus (#Vitaceae) are inflorescence-homolog tendrils with adhesive pads – a rather unusual structure among #climbers. The pads secrete a glue that secures them to their supporting tree, wall, fence, etc. 📷: Parthenocissus quinquefolia #climber

The tendrils of grape vines are homologous with inflorescences. They are touch-sensitive (thigmotropic) and can be branched or unbranched. 📷: Vitis californica. #Vitaceae #climber

I'm glad you asked! Some domatia are formed by tufts of trichomes (hairs) in vein axils. These hairs provide protection & cover for mites that guard the leaves. 1st photo: Jasminum dichotomum #Oleaceae; 2nd: Vitis vulpina #Vitaceae #domatia
