Utricularia gibba, however, is not a good candidate species for many ecological and physiological experiments due to its minute size and extremely small traps. We have therefore chosen the ecologically well-characterized temperate Utricularia vulgaris [3,16-18] as our model for a broad transcriptome analysis. Abstract. Utricularia gibba is an aquatic carnivorous plant with highly specialized morphology, featuring fibrous floating networks of branches and leaf-like organs, no recognizable roots, and bladder traps that capture and digest prey. We recently described the compressed genome of U. gibba as sufficient to control the development and reproduction of a complex organism.

Shallow water of lakes and pools, often becoming stranded as water level recedes. Forms of this species with larger corollas and longer spurs have been called Utricularia biflora. Though this form appears to be a distinctive, coastal plain Utricularia gibba ( Figure 1) is a quick-growing aquatic species with a small 100 Mb genome. Its traps are about 1 mm across and only two cell layers thick, which make it easy to image and understand cellular interactions. It is also transformable so we can test the function of candidate genes throughout development. Utricularia gibba has hollow airspaces around the vasculature tissues within the stem, which allows the plant to float just below the water surface.
