Complete plastid genome sequences suggest strong selection for retention of photosynthetic genes in the parasitic plant genus
BMC Plant Biology, 2007 Background Plastid genome content and protein sequence are highly conserved across land plants and their closest algal relatives. Parasitic plants, which obtain some or all of their nutrition through an attachment to a host plant, are often a striking ...

Tissue adhesion between distant plant species in parasitism and grafting
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2021 Plant grafting is generally performed between closely related species. Recently, we have discovered that Nicotiana species of Solanaceae show the ability to graft with distantly related plant species beyond the family.
