Large-scale mRNA transfer between Haloxylon ammodendron (Chenopodiaceae) and herbaceous root holoparasite Cistanche deserticola (Orobanchaceae) [PDF]
IScience, 2023 Summary: Exchanges of mRNA were shown between host and stem parasites but not root parasites. Cistanche deserticola (Orobanchaceae) is a holoparasitic herb which parasitizes on the roots of woody plant Haloxylon ammodendron (Chenopodiaceae).

Spring Forward: Reproductive Phenology of the Holoparasite Lathraea squamaria (Orobanchaceae) [PDF]
Plant-Environment InteractionsLathraea is a peculiar genus of holoparasitic plants in the Orobanchaceae. In addition to their unusual early development, plants in this genus remain below ground during most of their life cycle, deriving nutrients from the roots of various deciduous ...

Genomic Footprints of Multiple Host Lineages in the Mitochondrial and Nuclear Genomes of the Holoparasite Prosopanche americana [PDF]
PlantsHorizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) is a hallmark of the evolution of parasitic plants, facilitated by the haustorial connection. While mitochondrial HGT is widespread, the extent of nuclear HGT and the long-term retention of foreign genetic material in ...

First case of evolved herbicide resistance in the holoparasite sunflower broomrape, Orobanche cumana Wallr. [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceThe development and commercialisation of sunflower varieties tolerant to acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides some 20 years ago provided farmers with an alternative method for the cost-effective control of Orobanche cumana. In 2020, however,

A multiverse of trophic networks and coevolutionary trajectories among holoparasitic Orobanchaceae and their animal associates: a global perspective [PDF]
PhytoKeysHoloparasitism, in achlorophyllous, fully heterotrophic plants, is one of the most peculiar symbioses in the plant world. In particular, holoparasites from Orobanchaceae, the largest parasitic plant family, have evolved unique visual and olfactory ...
