Accelerated Haustoria Segmentation Enables Rapid Gene Function Analysis in Cereal–Powdery Mildew Pathosystems

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions
Reliable, high-throughput quantification of early fungal infection events is crucial for gene function studies, but it remains labor-intensive. We report an openly available pipeline that automates the detection of β-glucuronidase (GUS)-stained epidermal

Strigolactones initiate the formation of haustorium-like structures in Castilleja

iScience
Strigolactones serve as germination signals for several root-parasitic plant species within the Orobanchaceae family. Yet, their role in the life cycle of the facultatively parasitic genus Castilleja has remained elusive. Here, we demonstrate that strigolactones initiate the formation of haustorium-like structures in Castilleja.

Genomic and Transcriptomic Analyses Provide Insights Into Erysiphe necator Pathogenicity and Grapevine Response

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4599-4618, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Grapevine powdery mildew, caused by the fungus Erysiphe necator, is one of the most prevalent obligate biotrophic pathogens in vineyards, posing a significant threat to grape production. Despite its impact, research on E. necator pathogenicity and grapevine responses remains limited.

Risk versus reward: host dependent parasite mortality rates and phenotypes in the facultative generalist Triphysaria versicolor

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Parasitic plants engage in a complex molecular dialog with potential host plants to identify a host and overcome host defenses to initiate development of the parasitic feeding organ, the haustorium, invade host tissues, and withdraw water and ...

An Investigation into the Involvement of Defense Signaling Pathways in Components of the Nonhost Resistance of Arabidopsis thaliana to Rust Fungi Also Reveals a Model System for Studying Rust Fungal Compatibility

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2003
Seventeen accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana inoculated with the cowpea rust fungus Uromyces vignae exhibited a variety of expressions of nonhost resistance, although infection hypha growth typically ceased before the formation of the first haustorium ...

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.

One organ to infect them all: the Cuscuta haustorium

Annals of Botany
Abstract Background Research on the parasitic plant genus Cuscuta has flourished since the genomes of several of its species were published. Most of the research revolves around the iconic infection organ that secures the parasite’s sustenance: the haustorium.

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.
