Shepherd's purse also likes to attract nematodes (microscopic worms that feed on plant roots), then kill them & feed on the nitrogen from their decaying corpses. That can be helpful for crop production! There's something for everyone to love. ❤️ http

Here's a paper showing how Shepherd's Purse seeds give off chemicals to attract small nematode worms 🟡🪱 which get stuck in a sticky mucilage 💀 which rot & provide nutrients for the seed to germinate! 🌱 SEEDS CAN BE CARNIVOROUS! https://t.co/kaAaRQDAXj

Fabulous talk this evening @BethanStagg on tackling #PlantBlindness This article is well worth dipping into! Porto-carnivore in seeds! https://t.co/6O9gxlMWfc https://t.co/GT7N5otF2G
@BUCBotany @John_in_Aber Jonathan and John, did you see this https://t.co/7pG4Z0lChS
Valdemarsgade | Shepherds purse A very common, seemingly innocuous plant. But the seeds have been found to attract small worms - nematodes, which are then killed. This has been shown to help the seeds germinate. https://t.co/6ipD65G5hU #pavementplant
@nervousbotanist @jahasse @BSBIbotany @LeifBersweden Absolutely fascinating, great article! If interested, another proto-carnivore in our backyards is shepherd's purse. The germinating seeds exude compounds that attract and then kill nematodes, enriching t

@SimonDWatt @MyFrogCroaked one study: Capsella bursa-pastoris seedlings can catch and fertilize their surroundings with dead nematodes, and generally grow better https://t.co/TqCCbbMVag

Literature search can be a trip down the rabbit hole, but you also find gems: Seeds of the shepherd's purse may be (proto-)carnivorous?! How cool is that. https://t.co/BhlSD07otV
