The Enigma of Interspecific Plasmodesmata: Insight From Parasitic Plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Parasitic plants live in intimate physical connection with other plants serving as their hosts. These host plants provide the inorganic and organic compounds that the parasites need for their propagation.

Pscroph, a parasitic plant EST database enriched for parasite associated transcripts
BMC Plant Biology, 2005 Background Parasitic plants in the Orobanchaceae develop invasive root haustoria upon contact with host roots or root factors. The development of haustoria can be visually monitored and is rapid, highly synchronous, and strongly dependent on host factor ...

Parasitic flowering plant collections embody the extended specimen
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 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 ...

LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES DOMAIN 25 functions as a key regulator of haustorium development in dodders [PDF]
, 2021 Parasitic plants reduce crop yield worldwide. Dodder (Cuscuta campestris) is a stem parasite that attaches to its host, using haustoria to extract nutrients and water. We analyzed the transcriptome of six C.
