Molecular identification of a fungus associated with the holoparasitic angiosperm ydnora abyssinica in Namibia [PDF]

, 2020
In the present study, we have consistently observed a fungus that is in association with the fruits of the holoparasitic angiosperm Hydnora abyssinica.

Complete Plastid Genome of the Recent Holoparasite Lathraea squamaria Reveals Earliest Stages of Plastome Reduction in Orobanchaceae. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Plants from the family Orobanchaceae are widely used as a model to study different aspects of parasitic lifestyle including host-parasite interactions and physiological and genomic adaptations. Among the latter, the most prominent are those that occurred

European mistletoe shares a similar demographic strategy with non‐parasitic plants

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
European mistletoe (Viscum album) does not have a distinct demographic strategy from non‐parasitic plants, as quantified by time‐based life history traits. We found that mistletoe vital rates were driven by mistletoe size and position in the host tree.

Plastid Genome Evolution Across the Roridulaceae–Sarraceniaceae Clade (Ericales) in Relation to Carnivorous Strategies

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
The Roridulaceae–Sarraceniaceae clade exhibits strikingly divergent carnivorous strategies, providing a framework to examine how trophic shifts influence plastid genome evolution. Comparative plastome analyses reveal recurrent ndh gene disruption across species, while Roridula gorgonias shows pronounced genomic restructuring, including elevated ...

Floral scent and pollinators of the holoparasite Pilostyles thurberi (Apodanthaceae)

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2014
Floral scent is likely important to the pollination of parasitic plants, despite that it has not been well-studied. We studied the pollination ecology of the North American stem holoparasite Pilostyles thurberi (Apodanthaceae) at two field sites in Texas.

Quantitative Approach for Determining Reproductive Life‐History Strategies of Parasitic Plants: A Case Study in Balanophora

Ecology and Evolution
Parasitic plants are a diverse and unique polyphyletic assemblage of flowering plants that survive by obtaining resources via direct vascular connections to a host plant.

The endophyte’s endophytes: the microbial partners of the endangered plant parasite Rafflesia speciosa (Rafflesiaceae) reveal clues about its cryptic biology and cues for cultivation

Journal of Plant Interactions
Rafflesia is an endangered endophytic holoparasitic plant that lives the majority of its life inside the tissues of its sole plant host, Tetrastigma. Rafflesia floral buds emerge to produce the world’s largest single flower.
