Biology

Representative venom delivery systems in plants, including (A) co-habiting ants that numerous ant-plants provide a home and food for; (B) haustria of parasitic plants that attack other plants; (C) stinging trichomes of stinging plants; and (D) raphides that penetrate the oral membranes of animals that browse on plants. Artwork by Loma Linda University student M. Benjamin Streit.
