Hemiparasitic interaction between Castilleja tenuiflora (Orobanchaceae) and Baccharis conferta (Asteraceae): haustorium anatomy and C- and N-fluxes

Botan‪ical Sciences, 2019
Background: Castilleja tenuiflora is a hemiparasite of Baccharis conferta. The haustorium is the characteristic structure of hemiparasitic plants and its anatomy varies depending several factors such as host species, position on the root and environment.

A component of the Sec61 ER protein transporting pore is required for plant susceptibility to powdery mildew

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Biotrophic pathogens, like the powdery mildew fungi, require living plant cells for their growth and reproduction. During infection, a specialized structure called the haustorium is formed by the fungus.

Unveiling the mechanisms driving the rapid growth of Malania oleifera seedlings, a high-value root hemiparasitic plant

Frontiers in Plant Science
Certain root hemi-parasitic tree species hold significant economic value, yet they are challenging to cultivate artificially. Therefore, understanding how soil conditions and host plants influence the growth of these species is crucial.

Endoplasmic reticulum KDEL-tailed cysteine endopeptidase 1 of Arabidopsis (AtCEP1) is involved in pathogen defense

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Programmed cell death (PCD) is a genetically determined process in all multicellular organisms. Plant PCD is effected by a unique group of papain-type cysteine endopeptidases (CysEP) with a C-terminal KDEL endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retention signal ...

Isolation of Haustorium Protoplasts Optimized by Orthogonal Design for Transient Gene Expression in Phelipanche aegyptiaca

Plants
The efficient protoplast transient transformation system in plants is an important tool to study gene expression, metabolic pathways, and various mutagenic parameters, but it has not been established in Phelipanche aegyptiaca.
