Protocol for efficient germination of Castilleja (Orobanchaceae) for chemical haustorium induction and parasite-host interaction studies [PDF]
Summary: We present a protocol for germinating Castilleja seeds and growing seedlings for hormone treatments and plant-plant interaction assays. We describe steps for seed sterilization, stratification, and transplantation, ensuring germination and ...

Transcriptome analysis of mistletoe (Viscum album) haustorium development
The haustorium is a specific organ for penetration of host tissue in parasitic plants. To better understand the molecular mechanisms of the establishment of host-parasite relationships using gene expression profiles, early stage haustorium germination from mature mistletoe seeds was examined. We have generated a cDNA library that is an excellent source

Effects of Benzoquinones on Radicles of Orobanche and Phelipanche Species
The holoparasitic broomrape weeds (Orobanche and Phelipanche species) cause severe yield losses throughout North Africa, the Middle East, and Southern and Eastern Europe. These parasitic weeds form an haustorium at the tip of their radicles to infect the

A roadmap of haustorium morphogenesis in parasitic plants
AbstractParasitic plants invade their host through their invasive organ, the haustorium. This organ connects to the vasculature of the host roots and hijacks water and nutrients. Although parasitism has evolved independently in plants, haustoria formation follows a similar mechanism throughout different plant species, highlighting the developmental ...

The haustorium as a driving force for speciation in thallus-forming Laboulbeniomycetes [PDF]
AbstractLaboulbeniomycetes is a class of fungi that have obligate associations with arthropod hosts, either for dispersal (order Pyxidiophorales) or as biotrophic parasites (orders Herpomycetales and Laboulbeniales). Here, we focus on Herpomycetales and Laboulbeniales, which include fungi that form thalli, 3-dimensional, multicellular units of 1000 s ...

Biology and resource acquisition of mistletoes, and the defense responses of host plants
Background Mistletoes are the most successful group of obligatory hemi-parasitic flowering plants that attach to the host via haustorium for obtaining water and minerals.
