The plant-pathogen haustorial interface at a glance [PDF]
Many filamentous pathogens invade plant cells through specialized hyphae called haustoria. These infection structures are enveloped by a newly synthesized plant-derived membrane called the extrahaustorial membrane (EHM).

Cuscuta-Galileon cosmology: Dynamics, gravitational constants, and the Hubble constant [PDF]
We discuss cosmology based on a Cuscuta-Galileon gravity theory, which preserves just two degrees of freedom. Although there exists no additional degrees of freedom, introduction of a potential of a scalar field changes the dynamics.

High water availability increases the negative impact of a native hemiparasite on its non-native host [PDF]
Environmental factors alter the impacts of parasitic plants on their hosts. However, there have been no controlled studies on how water availability modulates stem hemiparasites' effects on hosts.

Parallel loss of plastid introns and their maturase in the genus Cuscuta. [PDF]
Plastid genome content and arrangement are highly conserved across most land plants and their closest relatives, streptophyte algae, with nearly all plastid introns having invaded the genome in their common ancestor at least 450 million years ago.

Parasitic plants in Europe: ecological niches and spatial patterns. [PDF]
Parasitic plant functional types in Europe exhibit different distribution patterns in terms of habitats, geography, and major environmental gradients, reflecting their physiological properties. Abstract Parasitic plants inhabit a wide range of ecosystems worldwide, where they may have critical roles as “ecosystem engineers”.

Horizontal gene transfers (HGTs) from host or other organisms have been reported in mitochondrial genomes of parasitic plants. Genes transferred in this fashion have usually been found nonfunctional.
