Parasitic plants of the genus Cuscuta and their interaction with susceptible and resistant host plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
By comparison with plant-microbe interaction, little is known about the interaction of parasitic plants with their hosts. Plants of the genus Cuscuta belong to the family of Cuscutaceae and comprise about 200 species, all of which live as stem ...

Parasitic Plant-Host Interactions: Molecular Mechanisms and Agricultural Resistance Strategies. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Parasitic plants devastate global agriculture through sophisticated molecular interactions with host crops. This review synthesizes current understanding of parasitic plant‐host interactions, from strigolactone‐mediated germination and haustorium formation to host defense mechanisms.

Current Understanding of Cell-Surface Immune Receptors for MAMPs and Plant Parasites in the Solanaceae Family. [PDF]

Mol Plant Pathol
Members of the Solanaceae family use diverse cell‐surface receptors to sense microbes and parasites, triggering immune responses that vary across species and cultivars. ABSTRACT Cell‐surface receptors play a central role in plant defence by enabling the perception of microbial signatures upon initial contact, activating immune responses and protecting ...
