Pscroph, a parasitic plant EST database enriched for parasite associated transcripts
BMC Plant Biology, 2005 Background Parasitic plants in the Orobanchaceae develop invasive root haustoria upon contact with host roots or root factors. The development of haustoria can be visually monitored and is rapid, highly synchronous, and strongly dependent on host factor ...

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.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.A parasitic seed germination bioassay reveals strong soil‐dependent variation in strigolactone signaling distance, controlled by physical and biological soil properties, which shapes signaling range and parasitic weed infection risk. Abstract BACKGROUND Strigolactones are root‐exuded plant metabolites acting as germination stimulants for several ...
