FIRST HOST RECORD FOR THE ROOT PARASITE CORYNAEA CRASSA (BALANOPHORACEAE)
Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2009 Corynaea crassa es una planta hemiparásita de raiz poco común y de la cual sabemos muy poco acerca de su historia natural y en particular sobre su rango de hospederos. En este estudio escabamos 32 tuberculos de dicha especie y seguimos las raíces que estaban parasitando para determinar su identidad.

Spring Forward: Reproductive Phenology of the Holoparasite <i>Lathraea squamaria</i> (Orobanchaceae). [PDF]
Plant Environ InteractLathraea 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]
Ecol EvolThe 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

Austral Ecology, Volume 48, Issue 8, Page 1762-1778, December 2023., 2023 Flowers of the Tasmanian endemic shrub Richea dracophylla are covered with a calyptra which is removed by birds before insect pollination can occur. Nocturnal ants Notoncus hickmani were active on flowers in large numbers at temperatures down to 2.5°C. Abstract Our observation of large numbers of ants Notoncus hickmani (Formicinae) on the flowers of a ...
