Developmental and cytochemical studies of the endosperm chalazal haustorium of Rhinanthus serotinus (Scrophulariaceae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We examined the development of the endosperm chalazal haustorium of Rhinanthus serotinus, using histochemical assays and light and electron microscopy. The chalazal haustorium is a huge single cell containing two enlarged nuclei.

Broomrape weeds. Underground mechanisms of parasitism and associated strategies for their control: a review.

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Broomrapes are plant-parasitic weeds which constitute one of the most difficult-to-control of all biotic constraints that affect crops in Mediterranean, central and eastern Europe, and Asia.

Transcriptome analysis of mistletoe (Viscum album) haustorium development

open access: yes, 2014
The haustorium is a specific organ for penetration of host tissue in parasitic plants. To better understand the molecular mechanisms of the establishment of host-parasite relationships using gene expression profiles, early stage haustorium germination ...

The physiological anatomy of the haustorium of Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. (Scrophulariaceae). [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
The parasitic angiosperms are a diverse group of plants that obtain a proportion of the resources needed for growth, development and reproduction by parasitizing other flowering plants.

CRISPR gene editing to improve crop resistance to parasitic plants

open access: yesFrontiers in Genome Editing, 2023
Parasitic plants pose a significant threat to global agriculture, causing substantial crop losses and hampering food security. In recent years, CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) gene-editing technology has emerged as a ...

Tandem Kinase WTK1 Triggers Waves of Transcriptional Reprogramming Underlying Wheat Resistance to Stripe Rust

open access: yesPhysiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Tandem kinases are emerging regulators of plant immunity, but the downstream defense programs they activate remain poorly understood. Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is a major constraint on global wheat production. The Yr15 resistance gene, derived from wild emmer wheat, encodes the tandem kinase protein WTK1.

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

open access: yesAmerican 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.

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

14‐3‐3 proteins: Central hubs in plant development and stress adaptation

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 3107-3132, August 2026.
This review highlights recent advances elucidating the important roles of 14‐3‐3 proteins in regulating phytohormone networks, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, growth‐defense trade‐offs, and evolutionary adaptations. Furthermore, it provides a forward‐looking perspective on 14‐3‐3 biology and the development of climate‐resilient smart crops under ...
