Hemiparasitic plants increase alpine plant richness and evenness but reduce arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal colonization in dominant plant species [PDF]
Hemiparasitic plants increase plant biodiversity by reducing the abundance of dominant plant species, allowing for the establishment of subordinate species.

The complete chloroplast genome of Pedicularis alaschanica (Orobanchaceae)
The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Pedicularis alaschanica was determined and described. The complete chloroplast was 146,989 bp in length with typical quadripartite structure and overall GC content of 38.4%, which encompassed 68 protein-coding ...

Fertilization has been shown to have suppressive effects on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and root hemiparasites separately in numerous investigations, but its effects on AMF in the presence of root hemiparasites remain untested.

The complete plastome of Taxillus vestitus (Loranthaceae), a hemiparasitic plant [PDF]
Taxillus vestitus (Wallich) Danser (Loranthaceae) is a stem hemiparasite occurring in southwest China and Himalayas. In this study, we report the first complete plastome of this species. The plastome is 122,200 bp in size, which encodes 94 unique genes (64 protein-encoding gens, 4 ribosomal RNAs, and 26 tRNAs).
