Diversity and communities of culturable endophytic fungi from the root holoparasite Balanophora polyandra Griff. and their antibacterial and antioxidant activities

Annals of Microbiology, 2022
Purpose Balanophora polyandra Griff. is a holoparasitic medicinal plant that produces compounds with antibacterial and antioxidant activities. Plant endophytic fungi are an abundant reservoir of bioactive metabolites for medicinal exploitation, and an ...

Salt‐Induced Stomatal Closure Suppresses Parasitism by Phtheirospermum japonicum

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT In nature, parasitic plants may grow in marginal and stressful environments. However, the effects of concurrent abiotic stress, such as salinity, on parasitism remain underexplored, particularly in facultative root hemiparasites. Here, we examined the effect of salt on the relationship between the parasite Phtheirospermum japonicum and its ...

Range and Elevational Shifts of Mistletoes Under Future Climate Change Scenarios

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Mistletoes are particularly vulnerable to climate change because of their obligate dependence on host plants. We investigated how climate change will alter the distribution of suitable habitat of Mesoamerican Psittacanthus mistletoes. Species differences were found in distribution with northward and upward shifts accompanied by significant range size ...

Altered Mitochondrial Respiration Is Associated With Loss of Nuclear‐Encoded OXPHOS Genes in Parasitic Broomrapes

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
The holoparasitic tribe Orobancheae demonstrated significant gene losses in their nuclear‐encoded mitochondrial OXPHOS genes. Despite these losses, high resolution respirometry revealed robust mitochondrial respiration in Orobancheae by shifting activities to fully nuclear encoded alternative complexes. ABSTRACT Parasitic plants, characterized by their

The functionality of arbuscular mycorrhizal networks across scales of experimental complexity and ecological relevance

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 1384-1399, June 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract One of the most prevalent symbioses on Earth is that formed between the majority of land plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. Through these intimate associations, AM fungi transfer soil nutrients to their plant hosts in exchange for photosynthetically fixed ...
