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.

A cell wall-localized glycine-rich protein of dodder acts as pathogen-associated molecular pattern [PDF]
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2021 Cuscuta reflexa (giant dodder) is an obligate stem holoparasite withdrawing water, nutrients, and carbohydrates from its hosts. For a broad spectrum of host plants, C. reflexa usually stays unrecognized. The cultivated tomato Solanum lycopersicum, as one

Understanding Plant Parasitism: Hydnora Africana and European Scientific Practice in the Early Nineteenth Century*. [PDF]
Ber WissThis article will analyze the uncertainties around collecting and classifying Hydnora africana in the first half of the nineteenth century. Emerging from the distinctive dryland ecologies of South Africa, Hydnora was interpreted as strange and cryptic by Europeans primarily because it is a root parasite—a complex floral trait that was little understood.

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

Trophic Transfer without Biomagnification of Cadmium in a Soybean-Dodder Parasitic System
Plants, 2021 Cadmium (Cd) is among the most available and most toxic heavy metals taken up by plants from soil. Compared to the classic plant-animal food chains, the host-parasitic plant food chains have, thus far, been largely overlooked in the studies of Cd trophic

Genome-scale transfer of mitochondrial DNA from legume hosts to the holoparasite Lophophytum mirabile (Balanophoraceae) [PDF]
, 2019 Angiosperm mitochondrial horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has been widely reported during the past decades. With a few exceptions, foreign sequences are mitochondrial genes or intronic regions from other plants, indicating that HGT has played a major role ...
