Mechanical factors contributing to the Venus flytrap’s rate-dependent response to stimuli

Mechanical factors contributing to the Venus flytrap’s rate-dependent response to stimuli

The sensory hairs of the Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula Ellis) detect mechanical stimuli imparted by their prey and fire bursts of electrical signals called action potentials (APs). APs are elicited when the hairs are sufficiently stimulated and two consecutive APs can trigger closure of the trap....
