International Biological Flora: Loranthus europaeus*

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 4, April 2026.
Loranthus europaeus is a deciduous hemiparasitic species native to Europe and western Asia, primarily parasitizing oaks. It forms xylem connections via haustoria, extracting water and nutrients while exhibiting high transpiration and low water‐use efficiency.

Genome and Single‐Cell Transcriptome Reveal the Evolution of Holoparasitic Plants: A Case Study of Cistanche deserticola

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2226-2240, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The Orobanchaceae family, the largest group of parasitic plants, spans a complete spectrum from autotrophic to holoparasitic species. As a typical endangered holoparasitic species within this family, Cistanche deserticola is a parasitic plant that is widely harvested for traditional medicine in desertic regions, and of growing importance as a ...

Complete chloroplast genomes of the hemiparasitic genus Cymbaria: Insights into comparative analysis, development of molecular markers, and phylogenetic relationships

Ecology and Evolution
The hemiparasitic tribe Cymbarieae (Orobanchaceae) plays a crucial role in elucidating the initial stage of the transition from autotrophism to heterotrophism. However, the complete chloroplast genome of the type genus Cymbaria has yet to be reported. In

Mistletoe‐ and Mussel‐Inspired Fabrication of Hierarchically Structured Protein‐Cellulose Scaffolds From Biomolecular Condensates

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 13, 3 March 2026.
Merging materials processing tricks inspired by mussel and mistletoe fiber fabrication, solutions of cationic mussel byssus proteins were mixed with modified anionic nanocrystalline cellulose, producing distinctive core‐shell condensates. Simple processing of condensate suspensions using freeze‐drying produced hierarchically structured porous protein ...

RNA-Seq analysis identifies key genes associated with haustorial development in the root hemiparasite Santalum album

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Santalum album (sandalwood) is one of the economically important plant species in the Santalaceae for its production of highly valued perfume oils. Sandalwood is also a hemiparasitic tree that obtains some of its water and simple nutrients by tapping ...

Trait plasticity in Osyris lanceolata driven by ecological filtering

Discover Plants
Ecological filters govern how hemiparasites express functional traits, shaping species persistence and ecosystem dynamics in drylands. We investigated how host identity, elevation, and disturbance influence morphological plasticity in Osyris lanceolata ...

Data from: Multiple choice: hemiparasite performance in multi-species mixtures

, 2018
Hemiparasitic plants have green leaves, but extract water and solutes from neighbouring plants. It is still poorly understood how different host plants in communities contribute to parasite performance, as species that are good hosts in single-host ...

Testing the adaptive nature of morphological diversification in the hemiparasitic genus Thesium L. (Santalaceae) [PDF]

, 2011
This thesis tests the hypothesis that parasitism in Thesium represents a specialised foraging strategy for dealing with the nutrient poor soils found in the ...
