Cuscuta species: Model organisms for haustorium development in stem holoparasitic plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Parasitic plants are notorious for causing serious agricultural losses in many countries. Specialized intrusive organs, haustoria, confer on parasitic plants the ability to acquire water and nutrients from their host plants.
