Cuscuta species: Model organisms for haustorium development in stem holoparasitic plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Parasitic plants are notorious for causing serious agricultural losses in many countries. Specialized intrusive organs, haustoria, confer on parasitic plants the ability to acquire water and nutrients from their host plants.

Absence of Polyphenol Oxidase in Cynomorium coccineum, a Widespread Holoparasitic Plant [PDF]
Plants, 2020 Polyphenol oxidase (PPO, E.C. 1.14.18.1) is a nearly ubiquitous enzyme that is widely distributed among organisms. Despite its widespread distribution, the role of PPO in plants has not been thoroughly elucidated. In this study, we report for the absence of PPO in Cynomorium coccineum, a holoparasitic plant adapted to withstand unfavorable climatic ...
