Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 In our study, we investigated some physiological and ecological aspects of the life of Cuscuta racemosa Mart. (Convolvulaceae) plants with the hypothesis that they recognise different hosts at a distance from them, and they change their survival strategy

\u3cem\u3eCuscuta Jepsonii\u3c/em\u3e (Convolvulaceae): An Invasive Weed or an Extinct Endemic? [PDF]
, 2009 Despite their ecological significance, parasitic plants face more conservation challenges than do autotrophic plants. This is especially true for the groups that include weedy or invasive species such as Cuscuta.

Plant Cognition—An Empirical Primer: Evidence, Implications, and Ethics
Philosophy Compass, Volume 21, Issue 1, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT Recent advances in plant biology suggest that plants engage in complex behaviours once thought to require nervous systems. This article surveys the empirical foundations of plant cognition, covering research on goal‐directed movement, decision‐making, anticipatory behaviour, communication, phytoacoustics, and plant neurobiology.

Plants, 2022 Cuscuta australis is a widely distributed stem parasitic plant, infecting a variety of host plants. Its parasitism has a negative effect on the hosts, mainly due to the exhaustion of nutrients, thus negatively affecting the growth and development ...

Parasitic plants--A CuRe for what ails thee [PDF]
, 2016 Parasitic plants cause dramatic changes in ecosystems and represent a serious risk to agriculture by attacking crops of high economic importance. A highly conserved part of plant immune systems is the recognition of microbe-associated molecular patterns (

Andrologia, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Background Research indicates that cyclophosphamide (CY), a cancer treatment, can cause oligozoospermia in men. Traditional Chinese medicine, particularly Shenqi Qiangjing (SQ) granules, may help improve this issue, but the exact way it works against CY–induced oligozoospermia is not completely clear.

Growth Assay for the Stem Parasitic Plants of the Genus Cuscuta
Bio-Protocol, 2017 Cuscuta spp. are widespread obligate holoparasitic plants with a broad host spectrum. Rootless Cuscuta penetrates host stems with so called haustoria to form a direct connection to the host vascular tissue (Dawson et al., 1994; Lanini and Kogan, 2005 ...

The parasitic plant Cuscuta australis is highly insensitive to abscisic acid-induced suppression of hypocotyl elongation and seed germination. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Around 1% of angiosperms are parasitic plants. Their growth and development solely or partly depend on host plants from which they extract water, nutrients, and other molecules using a parasitic plant-specific organ, the haustorium.

Holocentric Chromosomes of Luzula elegans Are Characterized by a Longitudinal Centromere Groove, Chromosome Bending, and a Terminal Nucleolus Organizer Region [PDF]
, 2011 The structure of holocentric chromosomes was analyzed in mitotic cells of Luzula elegans. Light and scanning electron microscopy observations provided evidence for the existence of a longitudinal groove along each sister chromatid.
