Elucidating the evolutionary dynamics of parasitism in Cuscuta: in-depth phylogenetic reconstruction and extensive plastomes reduction [PDF]
BMC GenomicsBackground The genus Cuscuta L. (Convolvulaceae), commonly known as dodder, is a holoparasite plant that relies on host plants for nutrition, leading to significant genomic changes, particularly in plastomes.

Current understanding of the role of the cell wall in Cuscuta parasitism. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)The plant cell wall (CW) plays a crucial role in many aspects of parasitism by the obligate stem parasite, Cuscuta. Cuscuta parasitism begins with tight coiling around the host stem by the strong tensile force of the thickened inner cell wall layers, and

Large-scale gene losses underlie the genome evolution of parasitic plant Cuscuta australis
Nature Communications, 2018 Dodders (Cuscuta spp., Convolvulaceae) are root- and leafless parasitic plants. Here, the authors sequence the genome of Cuscuta australis and find remarkable gene loss associated with parasitic lifestyle and large changes in body plan.

Jasmonic acid and salicylic acid transcriptionally regulate <i>CuRe1</i> in cultivated tomato to activate resistance to parasitization by dodder <i>Cuscuta australis</i>. [PDF]
Plant DiversThe parasitic dodder (Cuscuta, Convolvulaceae) species have wide ranges of hosts. However, some plants, including the cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), have different degrees of resistance to Cuscuta.

One organ to infect them all: the Cuscuta haustorium. [PDF]
Ann BotBackground Research on the parasitic plant genus Cuscuta has flourished since the genomes of several of its species were published. Most of the research revolves around the iconic infection organ that secures the parasite’s sustenance: the haustorium ...

Agrobacterium-mediated Cuscuta campestris transformation as a tool for understanding plant-plant interactions. [PDF]
New PhytolCuscuta campestris, a stem parasitic plant, has served as a valuable model plant for the exploration of plant-plant interactions and molecular trafficking. However, a major barrier to C.
