Verbesina alternifolia Tolerance to the Holoparasite Cuscuta gronovii and the Impact of Drought [PDF]

Plants, 2013
Holoparasites are nonphotosynthetic plants that acquire all resources from hosts. The holoparasite Cuscuta gronovii is native to much of the US with a broad host range including Verbesina alternifolia, an understory perennial.

The First Plastid Genome of the Holoparasitic Genus Prosopanche (Hydnoraceae) [PDF]

Plants, 2020
Plastomes of parasitic and mycoheterotrophic plants show different degrees of reduction depending on the plants’ level of heterotrophy and host dependence in comparison to photoautotrophic sister species, and the amount of time since heterotrophic ...

Understanding the evolution of holoparasitic plants: the complete plastid genome of the holoparasite Cytinus hypocistis (Cytinaceae) [PDF]

Annals of Botany, 2016
International audienceBackground and Aims Plant plastid genomes are highly conserved in size, gene content and structure; however, parasitic plants are a noticeable exception to this evolutionary stability.

Diverging repeatomes in holoparasitic Hydnoraceae uncover a playground of genome evolution. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary The transition from an autotrophic to a heterotrophic lifestyle is associated with numerous genomic changes. These often involve large genomic alterations, potentially driven by repetitive DNAs. Despite their recognized role in shaping plant genomes, the contribution of repetitive DNAs to parasitic plant genome evolution remains largely ...

Germination ecology of the holoparasite Cuscuta epithymum [PDF]

Seed Science Research, 2008
Little is known about the seed ecology of annual holoparasites, such as Cuscuta (dodders), and how germination is timed to occur when seedlings can attach to a host.

Transformation and regeneration of the holoparasitic plant Phelipanche aegyptiaca [PDF]

Plant Methods, 2011
Background Transformation and subsequent regeneration of holoparasitic plants has never been reported, in part due to challenges in developing transformation protocols, but also because regeneration of obligate parasites is difficult since their survival

Involvement of ABA in reduced photosynthesis and stomatal conductance in Cuscuta campestris - Mikania micrantha association [PDF]

Biologia Plantarum, 2011
We investigated whether changes in abscisic acid (ABA) content in leaves of Mikania micrantha infected by the holoparasite Cuscuta campestris at five growth stages, influenced the host stomatal conductance (gs), transpiration rate (E) and net ...

Arabidopsis thaliana is a susceptible host plant for the holoparasite Cuscuta spec [PDF]

Planta, 2007
Arabidopsis thaliana and Cuscuta spec. represent a compatible host-parasite combination. Cuscuta produces a haustorium that penetrates the host tissue. In early stages of development the searching hyphae on the tip of the haustorial cone are connected to the host tissue by interspecific plasmodesmata.

Comparative Metabolomics of Early Development of the Parasitic Plants Phelipanche aegyptiaca and Triphysaria versicolor [PDF]

Metabolites, 2019
Parasitic weeds of the family Orobanchaceae attach to the roots of host plants via haustoria capable of drawing nutrients from host vascular tissue. The connection of the haustorium to the host marks a shift in parasite metabolism from autotrophy to at ...

Genome and Single-Cell Transcriptome Reveal the Evolution of Holoparasitic Plants: A Case Study of Cistanche deserticola. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
ABSTRACT The Orobanchaceae family, the largest group of parasitic plants, spans a complete spectrum from autotrophic to holoparasitic species. As a typical endangered holoparasitic species within this family, Cistanche deserticola is a parasitic plant that is widely harvested for traditional medicine in desertic regions, and of growing importance as a ...
