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

Management of Infection by Parasitic Weeds: A Review

Plants, 2020
Parasitic plants rely on neighboring host plants to complete their life cycle, forming vascular connections through which they withdraw needed nutritive resources.

14‐3‐3 proteins: Central hubs in plant development and stress adaptation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review highlights recent advances elucidating the important roles of 14‐3‐3 proteins in regulating phytohormone networks, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, growth‐defense trade‐offs, and evolutionary adaptations. Furthermore, it provides a forward‐looking perspective on 14‐3‐3 biology and the development of climate‐resilient smart crops under ...

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.

Dodder seedlings benefit from apoplastic nutrition by inducing SWEET15‐mediated unloading of sucrose from the host's phloem

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Cuscuta reflexa infection sites. Summary Cuscuta species are holoparasitic plants that penetrate host stems with haustoria, connect to the vasculature and exhaust water, nutrients and carbohydrates. Parasite seedlings possess only limited maternal reserves and the development of a vascular connection takes several days.

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)

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

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.
