Cuscuta campestris fine-tunes gene expression during haustoriogenesis as an adaptation to different hosts

Plant Physiology, 2023
The Cuscuta genus comprises obligate parasitic plants that have an unusually wide host range. Whether Cuscuta uses different infection strategies for different hosts or whether the infection strategy is mechanistically and enzymatically conserved remains

Trans-species microRNA loci in the parasitic plant Cuscuta campestris have a U6-like snRNA promoter.

The Plant Cell, 2023
Small regulatory RNAs can move between organisms and regulate gene expression in the recipient. Whether the trans-species small RNAs being exported are distinguished from the normal endogenous small RNAs of the source organism is not known. The parasitic

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 ...

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 Dement
Abstract 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.

Germinating seedlings and mature shoots of Cuscuta campestris respond differently to light stimuli during parasitism but not during circumnutation.

Plant, Cell and Environment, 2023
Seedlings of the parasitic plant genus Cuscuta (dodder) locate hosts by circumnutation, coil around the host near soil level, and form a haustorium, establishing a primary parasitism beneath the canopy.

An Insight into Cuscuta campestris as a Medicinal Plant: Phytochemical Variation of Cuscuta campestris with Various Host Plants

Agriculture, 2023
Cuscuta campestris is a holoparasitic plant that depends on the host for water, nutrients, and photosynthetic substances. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effects of the host species on the content of bioactive and health-promoting ...

Cuscuta species: Model organisms for haustorium development in stem holoparasitic plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Parasitic plants are notorious for causing serious agricultural losses in many countries. Specialized intrusive organs, haustoria, confer on parasitic plants the ability to acquire water and nutrients from their host plants.
