Characterization of the complete plastome of Dendrophthoe pentandra (Loranthaceae), a stem hemiparasite [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 Dendrophthoe pentandra (Linnaeus) Miquel (Loranthaceae) is a stem hemiparasite distributed in southwest China and Indochina. Here, we present the first complete plastome of the plant.

Observational and experimental evaluation of hemiparasite resistance in trees in the urban afforestation of Santarém, Pará, Brazil [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2017 One of the problems affecting the quality of urban trees is their infestation by mistletoes (aerial hemiparasite plants of the order Santalales). Identification of the main types of trees infested, and of the causes of infestation patterns, can help ...

Effects of Hemiparasites in Grassland Restorations Are Not Universal
DiversityRoot hemiparasites infiltrate the vascular tissue of host roots to acquire water and nutrients, which often reduces host growth. Hemiparasites are postulated to be keystone species in grassland communities if they suppress dominant species and increase ...

N-P Fertilization Inhibits Growth of Root Hemiparasite Pedicularis kansuensis in Natural Grassland
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Fertilization has been shown to affect interactions between root hemiparasitic plants and their host plants, alleviating damage to the hosts by parasitism.

Native hemiparasite and light effects on photoprotection and photodamage in a native host
Functional Plant Biology, 2015 Plants infected with hemiparasites often have lowered rates of photosynthesis, which could make them more susceptible to photodamage. However, it is also possible that infected plants increase their photoprotective capacity by changing their pigment content and/or engagement of the xanthophyll cycle.

Evidence for a stress hypothesis: hemiparasitism effect on the colonization of Alchornea castaneaefolia A. Juss.uphorbiaceae) by Galling Insects [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2003 Stressed plants are generally more attacked by galling insects. In this study we investigated the relationship between population abundance and species richness of galling insects on the tree Alchornea castaneaefolia A. JUSS. (Euphorbiaceae), submited to

Plastome Evolution in Hemiparasitic Mistletoes [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2015 Santalales is an order of plants consisting almost entirely of parasites. Some, such as Osyris, are facultative root parasites whereas others, such as Viscum, are obligate stem parasitic mistletoes. Here, we report the complete plastome sequences of one species of Osyris and three species of Viscum, and we investigate the evolutionary aspects of ...
