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,

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

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.

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