The tomato receptor CuRe1 senses a cell wall protein to identify Cuscuta as a pathogen
Nature Communications, 2020 Parasitic plants such as Cuscuta penetrate the shoots of susceptible hosts to obtain sugars, solutes and water. Here the authors show that resistant varieties of tomato can trigger an immune response against Cuscuta by perceiving a small glycine rich ...

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 ...
