Interspecific Signaling Between the Parasitic Plant and the Host Plants Regulate Xylem Vessel Cell Differentiation in Haustoria of Cuscuta campestris

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
The genus Cuscuta is stem parasitic angiosperms that parasitize a wide range of vascular plants via de novo formation of a distinctive parasitic organ called a haustorium.

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

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.

Biology and resource acquisition of mistletoes, and the defense responses of host plants

Ecological Processes, 2022
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.

Allelopathic Effect of Quercetin, a Flavonoid from Fagopyrum esculentum Roots in the Radicle Growth of Phelipanche ramosa: Quercetin Natural and Semisynthetic Analogues Were Used for a Structure-Activity Relationship Investigation

Plants, 2021
Allelopathic potential of buckwheat roots on the radicle growth of the broomrape weed species Orobanche cumana and Phelipanche ramosa was studied. Buckwheat root exudates induced a significant growth inhibition in P.

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Generation Is Indispensable for Haustorium Formation of the Root Parasitic Plant Striga hermonthica

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
The parasitic witchweed Striga hermonthica causes devastating damage to crops in sub-Saharan Africa, yet the mechanism of its parasitism is not well understood.

Fast and abundant in vitro spontaneous haustorium formation in root hemiparasitic plant Pedicularis kansuensis Maxim. (Orobanchaceae)

Plant Diversity, 2018
Haustorium formation is the characteristic feature of all parasitic plants and a vital process for successful parasitism. Previous investigations on haustorium initiation and development are constricted to induced processes by host-derived signals or ...

Haustorium Induction Assay of the Parasitic Plant Phtheirospermum japonicum

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.

Regulatory Modules Involved in the Degradation and Modification of Host Cell Walls During Cuscuta campestris Invasion

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Haustoria of parasitic plants have evolved sophisticated traits to successfully infect host plants. The degradation and modification of host cell walls enable the haustorium to effectively invade host tissues.
