Molecular dissection of haustorium development in Orobanchaceae parasitic plants [PDF]
Characterizing molecular aspects of haustorium development by parasitic plants in the Orobanchaceae family has identified hormone signaling/transport and specific genes as major players.

Cuscuta species: Model organisms for haustorium development in stem holoparasitic plants
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.

The haustorium as a driving force for speciation in thallus-forming Laboulbeniomycetes [PDF]
AbstractLaboulbeniomycetes is a class of fungi that have obligate associations with arthropod hosts, either for dispersal (order Pyxidiophorales) or as biotrophic parasites (orders Herpomycetales and Laboulbeniales). Here, we focus on Herpomycetales and Laboulbeniales, which include fungi that form thalli, 3-dimensional, multicellular units of 1000 s ...

Biology and resource acquisition of mistletoes, and the defense responses of host plants
Background Mistletoes are the most successful group of obligatory hemi-parasitic flowering plants that attach to the host via haustorium for obtaining water and minerals.

Haustorium formation is the characteristic feature of all parasitic plants and a vital process for successful parasitism. Previous investigations on haustorium initiation and development are constricted to induced processes by host-derived signals or ...

Kin Recognition in the Parasitic Plant Triphysaria versicolor Is Mediated Through Root Exudates
Triphysaria is a facultative parasitic plant in the Orobanchaceae that parasitizes the roots of a wide range of host plants including Arabidopsis, Medicago, rice and maize.

Parasitic flowering plant collections embody the extended specimen
The widespread digitization of natural history collections, combined with novel tools and approaches is revolutionizing biodiversity science. The ‘extended specimen’ concept advocates a more holistic approach in which a specimen is framed as a diverse ...
