Phloem-Conducting Cells in Haustoria of the Root-Parasitic Plant Phelipanche aegyptiaca Retain Nuclei and Are Not Mature Sieve Elements

Plants, 2017
Phelipanche aegyptiaca parasitizes a wide range of plants, including important crops, and causes serious damage to their production. P. aegyptiaca develops a specialized intrusive organ called a haustorium that establishes connections to the host’s xylem

Endogenous RALF peptide function is required for powdery mildew host colonization

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2073-2090, August 2026.
Model of RALF‐FER‐dependent effects on powdery mildew sporulation. Summary The receptor kinase FERONIA (FER) is a susceptibility factor for biotrophic powdery mildew fungal pathogens in Arabidopsis thaliana, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. FER is required for the perception of endogenous RAPID ALKALINIZATION FACTOR (RALF)

Effects of Sulfated Modification on the Structural Characterization and Antioxidant Activities of Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.)Haustorium Polysaccharide

Shipin gongye ke-ji
To investigate the effect of sulfated modification on the structure and function of coconut haustorium polysaccharide (CHP), three kinds of sulfated coconut haustorium polysaccharides (SCHP-2, SCHP-3, and SCHP-4) were prepared using sulfation reagents ...

Overview of the functional virulent genome of the coffee leaf rust pathogen Hemileia vastatrix with an emphasis on early stages of infection

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Hemileia vastatrix is the causal agent of coffee leaf rust, the most important disease of coffee (Coffea arabica). In this work, a 454-pyrosequencing transcriptome analysis of H.

Regulatory Mechanism of CsMYB1‐CsMYB82/CsbHLH48‑CsCAD4 Model for Resistance Against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides in Camellia sinensis

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4725-4747, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is a major threat to tea cultivation; however, the molecular mechanism underlying different resistance among tea cultivars remains unclear. We identified distinct expression patterns of CsMYB82 between anthracnose‐resistant and susceptible varieties after infection with anthracnose from ...

Vestigial Plastids in Parasitic Plants: Evolutionary Remnants or Adaptive Innovations?

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5401-5420, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Throughout the evolutionary history of plants, chloroplasts originating from a cyanobacterial endosymbiosis have undergone remarkable adaptation and specialization, giving rise to a multitude of plastid types. The evolution toward parasitism in plants represents a particularly extreme case of such specialization.

Transformation and regeneration of the holoparasitic plant Phelipanche aegyptiaca

Plant Methods, 2011
Background Transformation and subsequent regeneration of holoparasitic plants has never been reported, in part due to challenges in developing transformation protocols, but also because regeneration of obligate parasites is difficult since their survival

Soil Phosphorus Availability Modulates Host Selectivity of Pedicularis kansuensis Between Legumes and Grasses

Plants
Host selectivity or preference plays a critical role in enabling parasitic plants to identify suitable hosts and influence plant community dynamics. Phosphorus (P) is known to affect the growth of root hemiparasitic plants and their interaction with ...

Stoichiometric mismatches between Australian showy mistletoes and their hosts: You are what you assimilate

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Ecological stoichiometry emphasizes that mismatches between the elemental composition of organisms and their resources can shape ecological interactions, evolutionary trajectories, and nutrient cycling. For hemiparasitic plants such as mistletoes, which draw water and nutrients from hosts while maintaining their own photosynthesis, such ...

Analysis of Barley Leaf Epidermis and Extrahaustorial Proteomes During Powdery Mildew Infection Reveals That the PR5 Thaumatin-Like Protein TLP5 Is Required for Susceptibility Towards Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Powdery mildews are biotrophic pathogens causing fungal diseases in many economically important crops, including cereals, which are affected by Blumeria graminis.
