Ecological aspects of Langsdorffia hypogaea (Balanophoraceae) parasitism in the Pantanal wetlands [PDF]
Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2015 Most studies on holoparasitic plants have focused on taxonomic or systematic issues. The objective of this study was to examine the ecological aspects of parasitism of Langsdorffia hypogaea (Balanophoraceae) in the Pantanal wetlands.

The evolution of the plastid genomes in the holoparasitic Balanophoraceae. [PDF]
Proc Biol SciThe independent transition to a heterotrophic lifestyle in plants drove remarkably convergent evolutionary trajectories, characterized by morphological modifications and reductions in their plastomes. The characteristics of the minimum plastome required for survival, if they exist, remain a topic of debate. The holoparasitic family

Discovery of the photosynthetic relatives of the "Maltese mushroom"
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2005 Background Although recent molecular phylogenetic studies have identified the photosynthetic relatives of several enigmatic holoparasitic angiosperms, uncertainty remains for the last parasitic plant order, Balanophorales, often considered to include two
