Gene Losses and Plastome Degradation in the Hemiparasitic Species Plicosepalus acaciae and Plicosepalus curviflorus: Comparative Analyses and Phylogenetic Relationships among Santalales Members

Plants, 2022
The Plicosepalus genus includes hemiparasitic mistletoe and belongs to the Loranthaceae family, and it has several medicinal uses. In the present study, we sequenced the complete plastomes of two species, Plicosepalus acaciae and Plicosepalus curviflorus,

Opposite effects of litter and hemiparasites on a dominant grass under different water regimes and competition levels [PDF]

, 2017
Direct and indirect biotic interactions may affect plant growth and development, but the magnitude of these effects may vary depending on environmental conditions. In grassland ecosystems, competition is a strong structuring force.

Hemiparasitic plants in Irish grasslands

, 2022
Hemiparasitic plants are those which steal water and nutrients from other plants, but still photosynthesise (so are green). They are an interesting part of the Irish flora, and some can play an important role in grasslands by weakening other plants – particularly Yellow Rattle.

Root hemiparasitism in Malania oleifera (Olacaceae), a neglected aspect in research of the highly valued tree species

Plant Diversity, 2019
Malania oleifera (Olacaceae) is a valued tree species, mostly because its seeds have high precious fatty acid content (particularly nervonic acid). However, seedling mortality rates are often high and regeneration of this tree has been problematic, which

There Is No Carbon Transfer Between Scots Pine and Pine Mistletoe but the Assimilation Capacity of the Hemiparasite Is Constrained by Host Water Use Under Dry Conditions

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Pine mistletoe is a hemiparasitic shrub that can produce its own photosynthates. There is a lack of knowledge about the interaction of mistletoe and host under varying environmental condition that might influence carbon gain and allocation.

Mistletoes, their host plants and the effects of browsing by large mammals in Addo Elephant National Park

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 1991
There are at least four plant hemiparasites [=mistletoes, viz. Viscaceae (3 species), Loranthaceae (1 species)] within the Addo Elephant National Park. Highly selective utilisation of these plant parasites by large browsing animals has resulted in severe

Decomposition of sub-arctiv plants with different nitrogen economies: A functional role for hemiparasites.

, 2003
Udgivelsesdato: December 2003Although hemiparasitic plants have a number of roles in shaping the structure and composition of plant communities, the impact of this group on ecosystem processes, such as decomposition and nutrient cycling, has been poorly ...

No need to seed: restoring species‐rich grassland on former arable fields by natural regeneration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Over the last century, agricultural intensification has caused substantial losses of semi‐natural species‐rich grasslands. One means of restoring grassland habitat is to abandon farmed land, followed by mowing and/or grazing of the established vegetation to facilitate meadow diversification. Objectives This study investigated post‐

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 ...
