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

New Phytol
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.

Haustorium Induction Assay of the Parasitic Plant Phtheirospermum japonicum [PDF]

Bio-Protocol, 2017
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.

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

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
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.

Embryo sac haustorium in Dryas octopetala L. (Rosaceae) [PDF]

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
The embryo sac haustorium found in <em>Dryas octopetala</em> L. from the Tatra Mts is the first record of its occurrence in <em>Rosaceae</em>. At the eight-nucleate stage of the embryo sac, the antipodal end of the central cell began to grow into a narrow caecum filled with dense cytoplasm and elongated in the chalazal direction

Comprehensive biochemical profiling of coconut haustorium for innovative food industry applications [PDF]

CyTA - Journal of Food
Coconut haustorium is a tropical delicacy that mobilizes nutrients from the endosperm to nourish the germinating embryo. This study profiles coconut haustorium for sugars, organic acids, phenolics, and flavonoids using advanced chromatographic techniques.

Molecular translocation between parasitic plants and their hosts [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Parasitic plants are a special group deriving their nutrients from another plant, some of which such as witchweeds (Striga spp.) and broomrapes (Orobanche and Phelipanche spp.) are referred as weeds responsible for severe crop losses in agriculture.

Constructing Haustorium-Specific cDNA Libraries from Rust Fungi [PDF]

, 2011
The haustorium is a distinguishing feature of biotrophic plant pathogens. Several highly diverged -pathogen classes have independently evolved haustoria, suggesting that they represent an effective adaptation for growing within living plant tissue.

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.

Haustorium Inducing Factors for Parasitic Orobanchaceae

Haustorium Inducing Factors for Parasitic Orobanchaceae
Parasitic plants in the Orobanchaceae family include devastating weed species, such as Striga, Orobanche, and Phelipanche, which infest important crops and cause economic losses of over a billion US dollars worldwide, yet the molecular and cellular processes responsible for such parasitic relationships remain largely unknown.
