Hi, being a student in biotechnology, i'd be interested in reading articles or finding any kind of notion about CP's genetics (genome structure, expression patterns of interesting genes, etc.). I'm mostly interested in the genuses Dionaea and Sarracenia. Is there a site, a magazine, or anything that speaks about it?

yes i know, but if there's even a small glimpse of a study, i'd like very much to read it... i wish at least to know if they're diploids or polyploids and how many chromosomes they have...

there has been a fair amount of work on Drosera and Nepenthes, focussed on taxonomy

I have found some interesting research published here but most is dated

Your best option being a student is your University library. They would have search facilities and access to most scientific journals. Spend a week in there any you will probably know as much as anybody.
