Current understanding of the role of the cell wall in Cuscuta parasitism. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)We comprehensively summarise the roles of plant cell wall in key processes of parasitism by the obligate stem parasite Cuscuta. Abstract 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 ...

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.

Efficacy and safety of MT104, a dietary supplement based on Cuscuta seeds and heat‐killed probiotics, on cognitive function in patients with mild cognitive impairment: A 12‐week, multicenter, randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled clinical trial [PDF]
Alzheimers DementAbstract Background Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) represents the symptomatic pre‐dementia stage of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Given the increasing prevalence of AD and its socioeconomic burden, delaying the progression of MCI to AD is critical. Modulating the microbiota‐gut‐brain (MGB) axis has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach.

Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Holoparasite Cistanche Deserticola (Orobanchaceae) reveals gene loss and horizontal gene transfer from Its host Haloxylon Ammodendron (Chenopodiaceae) [PDF]
, 2013 The central function of chloroplasts is to carry out photosynthesis, and its gene content and structure are highly conserved across land plants. Parasitic plants, which have reduced photosynthetic ability, suffer gene losses from the chloroplast (cp ...
