Mobile Host mRNAs Are Translated to Protein in the Associated Parasitic Plant Cuscuta campestris [PDF]
Plants, 2021 Cuscuta spp. are obligate parasites that connect to host vascular tissue using a haustorium. In addition to water, nutrients, and metabolites, a large number of mRNAs are bidirectionally exchanged between Cuscuta spp. and their hosts. This trans-specific

Identification of Structural Features of Hydrocinnamic Acid Related to Its Allelopathic Activity against the Parasitic Weed Cuscuta campestris [PDF]
Plants, 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.

Regulatory Modules Involved in the Degradation and Modification of Host Cell Walls During Cuscuta campestris Invasion [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Haustoria of parasitic plants have evolved sophisticated traits to successfully infect host plants. The degradation and modification of host cell walls enable the haustorium to effectively invade host tissues.

Functional Characterization of the Photosynthetic Machinery in Smicronix Galls on the Parasitic Plant Cuscuta campestris by JIP-Test [PDF]
Cells, 2021 Members of the genus Cuscuta are generally considered to be non-photosynthetic, stem-holoparasitic flowering plants. Under certain circumstances, at least some members of the genus are capable of limited photosynthesis. The galls of the Smicronyx weevils

Silicon Protection of Sugar Beet (<i>Beta vulgaris</i>) Against Field Dodder (<i>Cuscuta campestris</i>): Preliminary Analysis. [PDF]
Plant Environ InteractABSTRACT This preliminary study aimed to investigate the mitigation effect of silicon (Si) on field dodder‐induced stress in sugar beet. The experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with three factors, including parasitic infection (non‐parasitized and dodder‐parasitized sugar beet), Si source (5 mM Si in the form of Na2SiO3 or K2SiO3)
