Comparative secretome analysis of Striga and Cuscuta species identifies candidate virulence factors for two evolutionarily independent parasitic plant lineages

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology
Many parasitic plants of the genera Striga and Cuscuta inflict huge agricultural damage worldwide. To form and maintain a connection with a host plant, parasitic plants deploy virulence factors (VFs) that interact with host biology.

Preliminary Evaluation of a Dodder Anthracnose Fungus from China as a Mycoherbicide for Dodder Control in the US [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
Dodder (Cuscuta spp.) is a noxious, parasitic, annual weed throughout most of the United States. A fungus used to control it in China was imported under permit for studies with U.S. dodder species in containment.

Secrets within stems: The cryptic Apodanthes caseariae (Apodanthaceae), a rare neotropical holoendoparasite

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 385-400, March 2026.
Holoendoparasites are extremely rare plants that live entirely hidden inside their hosts, with only flowers and fruits visible. We studied Apodanthes caseariae, found in central and South America, parasitizing Casearia sylvestris. Little is known about its life cycle.

Analysis of Metabolites in Stem Parasitic Plant Interactions: Interaction of Cuscuta–Momordica versus Cassytha–Ipomoea

open access: yesPlants, 2016
Cuscuta and Cassytha are two well-known stem parasitic plant genera with reduced leaves and roots, inducing haustoria in their stems. Their similar appearance in the field has been recognized, but few comparative studies on their respective plant ...

Tinjauan Kembali* (Review Sebuah Tinjauan Tentang Parasit Tali Putri (Cuscuta Spp.) Dan Pengendaliannya [a Review of Dodder (Cuscuta Spp.) and Its Control] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Cuscuta species are parasitic seed plants with twining stems, that coil and fasten to host plants with attachments called haustoria.The Cuscuta stem forms the haustorial coil around the host.Several species of Cuscuta are troublesome parasites on ...

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 ...

Identification of Structural Features of Hydrocinnamic Acid Related to Its Allelopathic Activity against the Parasitic Weed Cuscuta campestris

open access: yesPlants, 2022
Cuscuta campestris is a parasitic weed species that inflicts worldwide noxious effects in many broadleaf crops due to its capacity to withdraw nutrients and water directly from the crop vascular system using haustorial connections.

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.

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.
