Embryology in Helosis cayennensis (Balanophoraceae): Structure of Female Flowers, Fruit, Endosperm and Embryo [PDF]
Plants, 2019 Helosis cayennensis (Balanophoraceae s.str.) is a holoparasite characterised by aberrant vegetative bodies and tiny, reduced unisexual flowers. Here, we analysed the development of female flowers to elucidate their morpho-anatomy and the historical ...

Spring Forward: Reproductive Phenology of the Holoparasite Lathraea squamaria (Orobanchaceae) [PDF]
Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.Lathraea squamaria is a peculiar holoparasitic plant. Here, we show that over a 14‐year period, key stages in the reproductive phenology of this parasite have started significantly earlier. Most remarkably, initial dates of flower anthesis and seed release now occur five and nine days earlier, respectively, when compared to 2007. ABSTRACT Lathraea is a

Altered Mitochondrial Respiration Is Associated With Loss of Nuclear‐Encoded OXPHOS Genes in Parasitic Broomrapes [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.The holoparasitic tribe Orobancheae demonstrated significant gene losses in their nuclear‐encoded mitochondrial OXPHOS genes. Despite these losses, high resolution respirometry revealed robust mitochondrial respiration in Orobancheae by shifting activities to fully nuclear encoded alternative complexes. ABSTRACT Parasitic plants, characterized by their
