Nuclear DNA of plastid origin (NUPTs), neglected driver of genome variation and evolutionary innovation

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 3, February 2026.
Significance Statement Contrary to expectation, NUPTs do not necessarily have a deleterious or ultimately neutral impact, nor are they necessarily purged from the genome. Instead, they can proliferate and eventually become fixed, generating new and novel genes, gene regions and regulatory elements, thereby significantly contributing to plant nuclear ...

The Evolution of Cytogenetic Traits in Cuscuta (Convolvulaceae), the Genus With the Most Diverse Chromosomes in Angiosperms

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Karyotypes are characterized by traits such as chromosome number, which can change through whole-genome duplication and dysploidy. In the parasitic plant genus Cuscuta (Convolvulaceae), chromosome numbers vary more than 18-fold.

Comparative Plastome Analysis of Artocarpus Species in China: Insight Into Adaptive Evolution and Mutational Hotspot Regions

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
The initial comparative plastome analysis of 10 Artocarpus species in China lays the groundwork for regional evolutionary research. Investigated of inverted repeat (lR) boundary variations, particularly the incomplete duplication of the ycf1 gene, elucidating mechanisms underlying genomic divergence.

Plant Cognition—An Empirical Primer: Evidence, Implications, and Ethics

open access: yesPhilosophy 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.

The parasitic plant Cuscuta australis is highly insensitive to abscisic acid-induced suppression of hypocotyl elongation and seed germination. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

\u3cem\u3eCuscuta Jepsonii\u3c/em\u3e (Convolvulaceae): An Invasive Weed or an Extinct Endemic? [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

A comparative study of morphology and pathogenesis of Cuscuta and Orobanche – the two devastating parasitic plants

open access: yesThe Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2016
Orobanche and Cuscuta are two completely different types of holoparasitic plants that behave as devastating weeds on many economically important crops and pose serious challenges in their management.
