Anatomical and histochemical characterization of in vitro haustorium from roots of Castilleja tenuiflora

, 2014
In vitro induction of haustoria from Castilleja tenuiflora Benth. was achieved by applying 25 μM catechin, 25 μM vanillin, or 25 μM H2O2. Of the treatments tested, 25 μM vanillin was the strongest inducer of haustoria in C.

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.

Subtilase activity in the intrusive cells mediates haustorium maturation in parasitic plants [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2020
ABSTRACT Parasitic plants that infect crops are devastating to agriculture throughout the world. They develop a unique inducible organ called the haustorium, which connects the vascular systems of the parasite and host to establish a flow of water and nutrients.

The Enigma of Interspecific Plasmodesmata: Insight From Parasitic Plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Parasitic plants live in intimate physical connection with other plants serving as their hosts. These host plants provide the inorganic and organic compounds that the parasites need for their propagation.

Transcriptional Basis for Haustorium Formation and Host Establishment in Hemiparasitic Psittacanthus schiedeanus Mistletoes

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
The mistletoe Psittacanthus schiedeanus, a keystone species in interaction networks between plants, pollinators, and seed dispersers, infects a wide range of native and non-native tree species of commercial interest.

Effects of Exogenous Phenolic Acids on Haustorium Induction of <i>Cistanche deserticola</i> Seeds Based on Host Metabolome Data. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
Cistanche deserticola, a holoparasitic plant widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, relies on chemical signals from its host plant, Haloxylon ammodendron, to initiate seed germination and haustorium induction.

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

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
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.

Phloem-Conducting Cells in Haustoria of the Root-Parasitic Plant Phelipanche aegyptiaca Retain Nuclei and Are Not Mature Sieve Elements

Plants, 2017
Phelipanche aegyptiaca parasitizes a wide range of plants, including important crops, and causes serious damage to their production. P. aegyptiaca develops a specialized intrusive organ called a haustorium that establishes connections to the host’s xylem

Dodder seedlings benefit from apoplastic nutrition by inducing SWEET15‐mediated unloading of sucrose from the host's phloem

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
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.
