Vestigial Plastids in Parasitic Plants: Evolutionary Remnants or Adaptive Innovations?
Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5401-5420, August 2026.ABSTRACT Throughout the evolutionary history of plants, chloroplasts originating from a cyanobacterial endosymbiosis have undergone remarkable adaptation and specialization, giving rise to a multitude of plastid types. The evolution toward parasitism in plants represents a particularly extreme case of such specialization.

Obtención de vitroplantas de Escobedia grandiflora (Fam: Orobanchaceae) a partir de semilla
Revista Politécnica, 2020 Escobedia grandiflora (L.f) Kuntze is an hemiparasite plant, whose propagation is difficult. The aims of this study were: (1) to determine the protocol for E. grandiflora seed disinfection; (2) to evaluate seed germination with 3-Indole Acetic Acid (AIA)

A global review of mistletoe frugivory and seed dispersal: The plant perspective
Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1303-1314, August 2026.We reviewed studies on mistletoe frugivory and seed dispersal worldwide. Although mistletoes are relatively well studied, major taxonomic, geographic, and methodological gaps remain. We conclude that modern technologies offer new opportunities to address long‐standing but still poorly explored questions about these interactions.

Diversity, 2023 Many hemiparasites attach to a range of different host species, resulting in complex parasite–host interactions. Comprehensive molecular phylogenies allow the investigation of evolutionary relationships between these host plants. We surveyed the hosts of

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Ecological stoichiometry emphasizes that mismatches between the elemental composition of organisms and their resources can shape ecological interactions, evolutionary trajectories, and nutrient cycling. For hemiparasitic plants such as mistletoes, which draw water and nutrients from hosts while maintaining their own photosynthesis, such ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 3789-3807, July 2026.ABSTRACT Legume plants can interact with nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) simultaneously, forming a tripartite symbiotic association. Co‐inoculation studies performed on a variety of legumes have shown that rhizobia and AMF influence each other when they co‐occur in tripartite association and affect host plant ...

Interactions of inbreeding and stress by poor host quality in a root hemiparasite [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2016 Populations of many hemiparasitic plants are fragmented and threatened by inbreeding depression (ID). In addition, they may also be strongly affected by a lack of suitable host species. However, nothing is known about possible interactive effects of inbreeding and host quality for parasitic plants.
