Soil Phosphorus Availability Modulates Host Selectivity of Pedicularis kansuensis Between Legumes and Grasses

Plants
Host selectivity or preference plays a critical role in enabling parasitic plants to identify suitable hosts and influence plant community dynamics. Phosphorus (P) is known to affect the growth of root hemiparasitic plants and their interaction with ...

Analysis of Barley Leaf Epidermis and Extrahaustorial Proteomes During Powdery Mildew Infection Reveals That the PR5 Thaumatin-Like Protein TLP5 Is Required for Susceptibility Towards Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Powdery mildews are biotrophic pathogens causing fungal diseases in many economically important crops, including cereals, which are affected by Blumeria graminis.

Hemiparasitic Castilleja presence is correlated with increased plant biodiversity across montane plant communities

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Premise Root hemiparasites form haustoria in belowground roots of hosts to extract nutrients and water from the surrounding hosts. Through parasitic symbiosis, these plants disproportionately affect plant communities relative to their abundance by reducing host size, altering nutrient flow, and eventually increasing local biodiversity.

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

Decoding MAPK cascades in plant immunity: Activation, regulation, integration, and pathogen manipulation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 3000-3024, August 2026.
This review focuses on mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation and summarizes how plants regulate and integrate MAPK signaling in modulating plant immune responses. It also examines the effectors pathogens have evolved to manipulate MAPK activation and thereby inhibit plant immunity.

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 ...

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.
