Testing the Hypothesis of Multiple Origins of Holoparasitism in Orobanchaceae: Phylogenetic Evidence from the Last Two Unplaced Holoparasitic Genera, Gleadovia and Phacellanthus [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Orobanchaceae is the largest family among the parasitic angiosperms. It comprises non-parasites, hemi- and holoparasites, making this family an ideal test case for studying the evolution of parasitism.

Predicting the potential distribution of four endangered holoparasites and their primary hosts in China under climate change [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Climate change affects parasitic plants and their hosts on distributions. However, little is known about how parasites and their hosts shift in distribution, and niche overlap in response to global change remains unclear to date.

Spring Forward: Reproductive Phenology of the Holoparasite <i>Lathraea squamaria</i> (Orobanchaceae). [PDF]
Plant Environ InteractLathraea squamaria is a peculiar holoparasitic plant. Here, we show that over a 14‐year period, key stages in the reproductive phenology of this parasite have started significantly earlier. Most remarkably, initial dates of flower anthesis and seed release now occur five and nine days earlier, respectively, when compared to 2007. ABSTRACT Lathraea is a

Effect of global warming on the potential distribution of a holoparasitic plant (Phelypaea tournefortii): both climate and host distribution matter [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Phelypaea tournefortii (Orobanchaceae) primarily occurs in the Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and N Iran) and Turkey. This perennial, holoparasitic herb is achlorophyllous and possesses one of the most intense red flowers among all plants ...

Induced defence by a root hemiparasite increases host plant resistance against future infection. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Infection by root hemiparasites can increase mortality of parasites during future infection, indicating induced host defence mechanisms. Abstract European grassland plants are frequently attacked by root hemiparasites. However, little is known about host defence responses to parasitism.

Altered Mitochondrial Respiration Is Associated With Loss of Nuclear-Encoded OXPHOS Genes in Parasitic Broomrapes. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe 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

A multiverse of trophic networks and coevolutionary trajectories among holoparasitic Orobanchaceae and their animal associates: a global perspective [PDF]
PhytoKeysHoloparasitism, in achlorophyllous, fully heterotrophic plants, is one of the most peculiar symbioses in the plant world. In particular, holoparasites from Orobanchaceae, the largest parasitic plant family, have evolved unique visual and olfactory ...

Parasitic Plant-Host Interactions: Molecular Mechanisms and Agricultural Resistance Strategies. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Parasitic plants devastate global agriculture through sophisticated molecular interactions with host crops. This review synthesizes current understanding of parasitic plant‐host interactions, from strigolactone‐mediated germination and haustorium formation to host defense mechanisms.
