The Haustorium, a Specialized Invasive Organ in Parasitic Plants.

Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2016
Parasitic plants thrive by infecting other plants. Flowering plants evolved parasitism independently at least 12 times, in all cases developing a unique multicellular organ called the haustorium that forms upon detection of haustorium-inducing factors derived from the host plant.

Studies on the haustorium of Castilleja (Scrophulariaceae). I. The upper haustorium

Canadian Journal of Botany, 1973
The portion of the Castilleja secondary haustorium external to host tissues was investigated at the light- and electron-microscopic levels. One or more haustoria may be present along a single lateral root; however, primary roots of Castilleja may also have haustoria. A localized development of root hairs usually precedes haustorial formation.

Microbiome associated with the Haustorium of Epifagus virginiana.

Proceedings of the West Virginia Academy of Science, 2021
Epifagus virginana is a holoparsitic plant whose only host is the American Beech tree, Fagus grandifolia. Currently, little is known about the specific mechanism used by Epifagus to colonize the tree. It is thought that lignin-like or lignin degradation by-products are needed to signal the colonization process for other members of Orobanchaceae ...

Protective Effect of Borassus flabellifer Haustorium Extract against Alkoxyl Radical-Induced Cytotoxicity by Improving Glutathione Metabolism by Modulating Nrf2/Haeme Oxygenase-1 Expression.

Journal of the American College of Nutrition, 2021
AIM The study was aimed to assess the ability of Borassus flabellifer haustorium methanolic extract (BHE) on de novo glutathione biosynthesis in normal and pro-oxidant exposed cells via Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and haeme ...

Glucosylation of Endogenous Haustorium-inducing factors Underpins Kin Avoidance in Parasitic Plants

bioRxiv
Parasitic plants rarely attack themselves, suggesting the activity of a kin-avoidance mechanism. In the root parasitic plant Phtheirospermum japonicum, prehaustorium formation is triggered by host-secreted haustorium-inducing factors (HIFs), but it is ...

ANATOMY AND FINE STRUCTURE OF THE MISTLETOE HAUSTORIUM (PHTHIRUSA PYRIFOLIA). I. DEVELOPMENT OF THE YOUNG HAUSTORIUM

American Journal of Botany, 1974
The anatomy and fine structure of the young primary haustorium of Phthirusa pyrifolia (H.B.K.) Eichl. were studied before penetration into the host. The simple internal organization (epidermis, hypodermis, and core parenchyma) which characterizes the radicular disc at germination becomes extremely complex, especially at the distal end of the disc ...

Biochemical and nutritional characterization of coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) haustorium.

Food Chemistry, 2018
Study was conducted to determine the biochemical constituents in coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) haustorium, a spongy tissue formed during coconut germination. Results indicated that 100g of dried coconut haustorium contained 1.05±0.2% ash, 44.2±4.6% soluble sugar, 24.5±3.2% starch, 5.50±0.3% protein, 1.99±0.9% fat, 5.72±0.4% soluble dietary fibre, 20.3±1 ...

Borassus flabellifer haustorium extract prevents pro-oxidant mediated cell death and LPS-induced inflammation

Drug and chemical toxicology (New York, N.Y. 1978), 2020
Borassus flabellifer L., belonging to the Arecaceae family, is less explored for its nutritional and biological properties. The plant parts such as the tender kernel, tender water, Borassus flabellifer sap, and haustorium are consumed by various ...
