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 ...

Genomic Footprints of Multiple Host Lineages in the Mitochondrial and Nuclear Genomes of the Holoparasite Prosopanche americana [PDF]

Plants
Horizontal 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 ...

Comparing complete organelle genomes of holoparasitic Christisonia kwangtungensis (Orabanchaceae) with its close relatives: how different are they? [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology, 2022
Background Orobanchaceae is the only flowering plant family with species from free-living nonparasite, hemi-parasite to holoparasite, making it an ideal system for studying the evolution of parasitism.

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 ...

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

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.

Discovery of the photosynthetic relatives of the "Maltese mushroom" Cynomorium [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2005
Background Although recent molecular phylogenetic studies have identified the photosynthetic relatives of several enigmatic holoparasitic angiosperms, uncertainty remains for the last parasitic plant order, Balanophorales, often considered to include two

PRELIMINARY HISTOANATOMICAL STUDY OF SAPRIA HIMALAYANA GRIFF. F. ALBOVINOSA FLOWER BUDS AND ITS INTERSECTION WITH ITS HOST PLANT TETRASTIGMA LAOTICUM GAGNEP. [PDF]

Journal of Plant Development, 2021
Sapria, a holoparasitic plant of Rafflesiaceae is still understudied in term of anatomical, even more in histoanatomical study. This study aimed to perform preliminary observation on Sapria himalayana Griff. f. albovinosa morphology on its early and late

TISSUE DIFFERENTIATION OF THE EARLY AND THE LATE FLOWER BUDS OF RAFFLESIA PATMA BLUME [PDF]

Journal of Plant Development, 2020
The flower bud of Rafflesia patma Blume following the protocorm stage of the flower will undergo rapid cell growth followed by the differentiation stage which lead to the later stage of the flower bud morphogenesis into the floral organs.

Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Holoparasite Cistanche Deserticola (Orobanchaceae) reveals gene loss and horizontal gene transfer from Its host Haloxylon Ammodendron (Chenopodiaceae) [PDF]

, 2013
The central function of chloroplasts is to carry out photosynthesis, and its gene content and structure are highly conserved across land plants. Parasitic plants, which have reduced photosynthetic ability, suffer gene losses from the chloroplast (cp ...

Parasitic plants show striking convergence in host preference across angiosperm lineages. [PDF]

Ann Bot
Background and Aims: The host specificity of a parasite underpins its ecology, distribution, invasive potential and adaptability, yet for most parasitic plants the host ranges are poorly understood.
