The haustorium: The root of biotrophic fungal pathogens
Biotrophic plant pathogenic fungi are among the dreadful pathogens that continuously threaten the production of economically important crops. The interaction of biotrophic fungal pathogens with their hosts necessitates the development of unique infection

IAA-Mediated Haustorium Formation in Phelipanche aegyptiaca: Transcriptional Insights and Anti-Parasitic Strategies [PDF]
Phelipanche aegyptiaca is an obligate root-parasitic weed that parasitizes crop roots, threatening the safety of agricultural production. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the formation of P. aegyptiaca haustorium remain largely unclear. Here,

Exploring the lichenization continuum through the marine tripartite symbiosis of Collemopsidium pelvetiae. [PDF]
Abstract Premise Symbioses between lichen‐forming fungi and brown algae (phaeophytes) are extremely rare. We investigated the interactions between the marine fungus Collemopsidium pelvetiae and its two photosynthetic partners, the brown alga Pelvetia canaliculata and a cyanobacterial symbiont to address questions on symbiosis biology, lichenization ...

One organ to infect them all: the Cuscuta haustorium [PDF]
Abstract Background Research on the parasitic plant genus Cuscuta has flourished since the genomes of several of its species were published. Most of the research revolves around the iconic infection organ that secures the parasite’s sustenance: the haustorium.

Haustorium Induction Assay of the Parasitic Plant Phtheirospermum japonicum [PDF]
Phtheirospermum japonicum is a facultative root parasitic plant in the Orobanchaceae family used as a model parasitic plant. Facultative root parasites form an invasive organ called haustorium on the lateral parts of their roots.

Molecular translocation between parasitic plants and their hosts [PDF]
Parasitic plants are a special group deriving their nutrients from another plant, some of which such as witchweeds (Striga spp.) and broomrapes (Orobanche and Phelipanche spp.) are referred as weeds responsible for severe crop losses in agriculture.

Genomic and Transcriptomic Analyses Provide Insights Into Erysiphe necator Pathogenicity and Grapevine Response. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Grapevine powdery mildew, caused by the fungus Erysiphe necator, is one of the most prevalent obligate biotrophic pathogens in vineyards, posing a significant threat to grape production. Despite its impact, research on E. necator pathogenicity and grapevine responses remains limited.
