Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 11, Page 8217-8231, November 2025.ABSTRACT Plant galls are abnormal growing tissues induced by various parasitic organisms, exhibiting diverse and complex morphologies. Typically, these galls differ significantly in appearance from their host plants. Here, we report that larvae of a parasitic fly generate unique, rosette galls on Aster scaber, a perennial herb. These galls develop from

Compensatory sequence variation between trans-species small RNAs and their target sites
eLife, 2019 Trans-species small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) are delivered to host plants from diverse pathogens and parasites and can target host mRNAs. How trans-species sRNAs can be effective on diverse hosts has been unclear.

Salt‐Induced Stomatal Closure Suppresses Parasitism by Phtheirospermum japonicum
Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 6, November/December 2025.ABSTRACT In nature, parasitic plants may grow in marginal and stressful environments. However, the effects of concurrent abiotic stress, such as salinity, on parasitism remain underexplored, particularly in facultative root hemiparasites. Here, we examined the effect of salt on the relationship between the parasite Phtheirospermum japonicum and its ...
