Germination ecology of the holoparasite Cuscuta epithymum

, 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.

Secrets within stems: The cryptic Apodanthes caseariae (Apodanthaceae), a rare neotropical holoendoparasite

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 385-400, March 2026.
Holoendoparasites are extremely rare plants that live entirely hidden inside their hosts, with only flowers and fruits visible. We studied Apodanthes caseariae, found in central and South America, parasitizing Casearia sylvestris. Little is known about its life cycle.

The parasitic plant genome project: New tools for understanding the biology of Orobanche and Striga.

, 2012
The Parasitic Plant Genome Project has sequenced transcripts from three parasitic species and a nonparasitic relative in the Orobanchaceae with the goal of understanding genetic changes associated with parasitism.

Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 74-105, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...

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

, 2007
In the present study, we have consistently observed a fungus that is in association with the fruits of the holoparasitic angiosperm Hydnora abyssinica.

Comparison of the cp genome gene content of 16 hemiparasitic plants published to date with one autotrophic plant and two Cuscuta species, based on Funk, H. T., et al. (2007), McNeal, J. R., et al. (2007), Wicke, S., et al. (2013), Petersen, G., et al. (2015), Rossetto, M., et al. (2015), Fan, W., et al. (2016), Su, H. -J. and J. -M. Hu (2016), Wicke, S., et al. (2016), Li, Y., et al. (2017) and Yang, G. -S., et al. (2017).

, 2018
In the case of Striga hemonthica, pseudogene presence was not confirmed in a previous paper. Black/gray/white boxes indicate each gene present and are considered functional/pseudogene or fragment of gene present/gene absent.

RNA-seq data from different developmental stages of Rafflesia cantleyi floral buds

Genomics Data, 2017
Rafflesia cantleyi, known as one of the world's largest flowers, is a specialised holoparasite due to dramatic morphological modifications. It possesses highly reduced vegetative structure and only appears as a flower for sexual reproduction.

Growth but not photosynthesis response of a host plant to infection by a holoparasitic plant depends on nitrogen supply. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Parasitic plants can adversely influence the growth of their hosts by removing resources and by affecting photosynthesis. Such negative effects depend on resource availability.

Beetle Pollination in the Holoparasitic Lophophytum pyramidale (Balanophoraceae): A New Case of Brood‐Pollination Mutualism?

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1542-1554, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Beetle pollination is considered an ancestral trait in angiosperms, retained in a few specialised families engaging in longstanding interactions with ancient groups of beetles. While beetles represent some of the earliest angiosperm pollinators, there is also increasing evidence that some beetle‐pollinated plants represent a derived condition.

An Account of the Ecology of the Parasitic Plant Cistanche phelypaea (L.) Cout. (Orobanchaceae) in the Canary Islands and Implications for Its Conservation

Ecologies
Parasitic plants are ecologically important because they can exert a profound influence on the surrounding ecosystem. Yet the ecology and host specificity of most parasitic plant species remain poorly known or undocumented. Cistanche phelypaea is a local
